Huang Zheng-son

Abstract

Objective To investigate the effect of endovascular embolization on traumatic carotidcavernous fistula (TCCF). Methods 14 TCCF cases admitted from January 2000 to July 2004 underwent endovascular embolization. Results The 14 patients underwent embolization for 16 times totally, all embolized completely. Of all, internal carotid arteries in 5 cases were occluded by coil. No recurrence was found in follow-up of 3 months to 3 years. Conclusion Endovascular embolization is an ideal method to treat TCCF.
