Methods In 20 patients with TCCF, 10 were treated with the detachable balloon embolization, 4 were treated with the detachable balloon embolization and coils, 2 were treated with coils alone, 3 were treated with coils and Onyx, and 1 was treated with covered stenting. Two of them were embolized again because of leaking balloon. Results Eighteen of the 20 patients were embolizeded successfully once, 2 were embolizeded successfully twice. The patency rate of internal carotid artery was 100%. No operation-related complications occurred. Conclusions Endovascular embolization is a simply, safe and reliable method of curative effect for the treatment of TCCF.
