  • Title: Direct thrombosis of a pseudoaneurysm after obliteration of a carotid-cavernous fistula with cellulose acetate polymer: technical case report.
    Author: Kinugasa K, Mandai S, Tsuchida S, Kamata I, Ohmoto T.
    Journal: Neurosurgery; 1994 Oct; 35(4):755-9; discussion 759-60. PubMed ID: 7808624.
    Abstract:
    A 55-year-old man who suffered a head injury resulting in a left traumatic carotid-cavernous fistula was successfully treated with an intravascular detachable balloon. A pseudoaneurysm formed adjacent to the balloon. Seven months after the initial procedure, treatment with cellulose acetate polymer, a new liquid thrombotic material, occluded the pseudoaneurysm and preserved the internal carotid artery.
