Transvenous embolization of indirect carotid-cavernous fistula via puncture of the cubital vein and distal radial artery

Radiology Case Reports, 2020
Carotid-cavernous fistula (CCF) is a pathologic communication between carotid arteries and cavernous sinus. The goal of endovascular treatment is to completely interrupt the carotid-cavernous communication with preserving normal blood flow in carotid ...
