Endovascular Embolization of Recurrent Traumatic Carotid-Cavernous Fistulas Managed Previously With Detachable Balloons

Abstract

Balloon puncture or premature deflation and migration occasionally cause RTCCFs. Sacrifice of the parent artery rarely is needed. Transarterial embolization remains the best approach, with balloons used first, then coils, N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate, or both.
