TY - JOUR T1 - Carotid-Cavernous Fistulas: Intraarterial Treatment JF - American Journal of Neuroradiology JO - Am. J. Neuroradiol. SP - 449 LP - 457 VL - 1 IS - 5 AU - Alex Berenstein AU - Irvin I. Kricheff AU - Joseph Ransohoff Y1 - 1980/09/01 UR - http://www.ajnr.org/content/1/5/449.abstract N2 - The intraarterial treatment of carotid-cavernous fistulas can be carried out rationally by considering a number of different factors. These include the site of the fistula, its size, its supply, its clinical presentation, associated vascular injuries, and the tolerance to carotid occlusion by a direct intraarterial balloon test. Careful attention to these features and familiarity with a variety of catheter systems, detachable balloons, and tissue adhesives will allow the operator to select the best treatment for each patient. Seven patients are described to illustrate these considerations. ER -
