Abstract

Fourteen procedures of endovascular treatment of traumatic carotid cavernous fistulas (CCFs) with latex detachable balloons were performed at our department in the past two years. Successful occlusion of the fistulas could be achieved in thirteen procedures (93%). Preservation of the parent internal carotid artery was possible in eight procedures (57%). One patient developed transient abducens palsy. One balloon ruptured due to repeat head trauma. Pseudoaneurysm developed in one case. Migration or dislodgment of the balloons was found in two cases. On the basis of these results, we conclude that the low morbidity and high successful rate currently make this modality to be the treatment of choice.
