  • Title: [Embolization treatment of carotid-cavernous fistula with balloon catheter].
    Author: Wu ZX.
    Journal: Zhonghua Wai Ke Za Zhi; 1993 Jan; 31(1):20-2. PubMed ID: 8404336.
    Abstract:
    Fifty-five cases of carotid-cavernous fistula (CCF) were treated with detachable balloon catheter from Oct. 1986 to Aug. 1992. Of these cases, 52 were embolized successfully with patented carotid arteries in 36. The clinical data, neurological complications and embolization methods were evaluated. We believe that intravascular embolization is the best method for treating CCF.
