  • Title: Deflation of detachable balloons in the cavernous sinus by percutaneous puncture.
    Author: Jacobs JM, Parker GD, Apfelbaum RI.
    Journal: AJNR Am J Neuroradiol; 1993; 14(1):175-7. PubMed ID: 8427083.
    Abstract:
    The authors show that percutaneous puncture of balloons within the cavernous sinus is technically feasible and allows further access to the cavernous sinus after balloon detachment. Complete closure of a large carotid cavernous fistula was achieved in the 37-year-old trauma victim they treated using this technique.
