    Author: Chowdhary UM.
    Journal: J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry; 1978 Nov; 41(11):996-1000. PubMed ID: 712378.
    Abstract:
    The use of a balloon-tipped intra-arterial catheter for occlusion of the carotid-cavernous fistula seems to be a simple and, by the reports published to date, very effective procedure, and its usage has been without any sequelae. Successful treatment of carotid-cavernous fistulae by this method is reported in two patients.
