Direct caroticocavernous fistula (CCF) has traditionally been treated by detachable balloon placement within the affected cavernous sinus. We describe a case of a direct CCF treated solely with flow-diverting stents. These novel devices may offer a simpler and potentially safer vessel-sparing option in this rare condition.
直接颈动脉海绵窦瘘(CCF)传统上通过在受影响的海绵窦内放置可分离球囊进行治疗。我们描述了一例单纯使用血流导向支架治疗的直接 CCF 病例。这些新型装置在这种罕见情况下可能提供一种更简单且潜在更安全的血管保留选择。
