Abstract
As carotid-cavernous sinus fistulas (CCSF) are not life-threatening, therapeutic attempts should carry a very low morbidity and mortality. The authors believe that utilization of detachable balloons is the treatment of choice for CCSF, although this procedure is not without risk. Seven patients have been treated for high-flow traumatic intracranial fistulas over the past 2 years with detachable balloons using a coaxial catheter system. This paper presents several complications that have been encountered during this experience, and advances suggestions regarding treatment and avoidance of potential complications.
