Abstract:
Objective To study the possibility and value of double-catheter-balloon technique for embolization of high-flow carotid cavernous fistula (CCF).Methods Three high-flow CCFs, which can't be completely occluded by 1 detachable balloon, were treated with the technique. By the way of bilateral femoral arteries approach, 2 detachable balloons were advanced to the internal carotid artery (ICA). After passing through the fistula, both balloons were inflated on the venous side in order to occlude the fistula. Results All CCFs were occluded completely and the ICAs remained patent. This procedure was easy and safe without increasing the risk of interventional therapy.Conclusions The application of double-catheter-balloon technique for high-flow CCF should be an effective method of choice during failure of 1 balloon procedure and simultaneously maintainning the patency of ICAs completely.
