Abstract
Two cases of carotid artery rupture due to postoperative infection were treated successfully with an emergency endovascular technique. A detachable balloon was attached to a 2 Fr microcatheter and was introduced through a 9 Fr guiding catheter. The balloons were detached at the rupture site and just proximal to the lesion. This technique has several advantages over surgical procedures.Entities:
