Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the effect of “flying kite” technique and detachable balloon on embolization of carotid-cavernous fistulas (CCF). Methods 9 cases of CCF were treated by using“flying kite”technique, and 6 cases of CCF were treated by using detachable balloon. Results In “flying kite” treatment group, 8 cases were completely cured, and 1 case was partly cured. In detachable ballon treatment group, all 6 cases were completely cured once. Conclusion The“flying kite”technique was simple method for embolization of CCF, which didn't need special instruments and materials, and was easy to use in the basic hospitals, but it could obstruct carotid artery and lead to CCF recurrence. The embolization of CCF by using detachable balloon had a higher curative rate and recurred rarely, but it needed special instruments and skills. Detachable balloon embolization of CCF is a reliable method for the treatment of CCF. [
