High-flow, small-hole arteriovenous fistulas: treatment with electrodetachable coils

G Guglielmi et al. AJNR Am J Neuroradiol. 1995 Feb.

Abstract

We present one case of carotid-cavernous fistula caused by percutaneous treatment of trigeminal neuralgia and one case of vertebrovertebral fistula caused by percutaneous internal jugular vein cannulation. Each fistula had a small arteriovenous communication that prevented the use of detachable balloons. Endovascular transarterial treatment of these two iatrogenic fistulas with electrically detachable platinum coils was performed. Both fistulas were occluded with preservation of the parent artery, and the patients have fully recovered.
