    Journal: Rofo; 1985 Sep; 143(3):326-30. PubMed ID: 2996072.
    Abstract:
    A new method of embolisation with a dilatation catheter is described as an example in a case with traumatic aneurysm and an a.v. fistula of the vertebral artery. The lesion was temporarily occluded with a conventional catheter for angioplasty and operated upon. The method is available for e.g. rapid management in case of imminent rupture of traumatic aneurysms, multiple lesions of vessels and for operative reconstruction of traumatised arteries.
