Abstract
Endovascular treatment of traumatic caroticocavernous fistulae (CCF) may present technical difficulties with specific angiographic dilemmas. We report endovascular techniques used in a patient with bilateral post-traumatic CCF, high-flow on one side, and slow-flow on the other. Complete closure of both was achieved through the same carotid artery tear. To our knowledge, transarterial venous coil embolisation of a low-flow fistula through a contralateral carotid artery tear, with transarterial detachable balloon embolisation of the ipsilateral high-flow fistula has not been described previously.Entities:
