Abstract

Objective To evaluate the application value of detachable balloon in the treatment of traumatic carotid- cavernous fistula (TCCF). Methods 15 cases with TCCF were treated by detachable balloon embolization. Results Immediate complete embolization of the fistulas was achieved in 14 patients; residual shunting was found in 1 patient, but after the following-up of 6 months, all 15 cases were cured. Conclusion Endovascular balloon embolization is the preferable choice in dealing with TCCF.
