Abstract A case of a traumatic fistula between the internal carotid artery and the internal jugular vein is reported. The fistula was treated by detachable balloon occlusion and clipping of the internal carotid artery.

✓ A case is reported of a large spontaneous right posterior inferior cerebellar artery fistula in which the patient presented with a right cerebellopontine (CP) angle and right cerebellar syndrome. The patient was successfully treated by balloon occlusion at the fistula site. The location of the arteriovenous fistula, the mass effect of its enlarged draining veins on the cerebellum and CP angle structures, and the simple therapeutic endovascular occlusion with a detachable balloon make this case unique.

A 29-year-old male developed ptosis and progressive pulsating protrusion of the right eye, accompanied by conjunctival injection and tinnitus following a bicycle accident. MR angiography revealed dilation of both superior ophthalmic veins and facial veins. Right internal carotid angiography demonstrated right carotid-cavernous fistula (CCF) at the C3 portion of the right internal carotid artery with abnormal venous drainage. After right carotid balloon occlusion test had been performed, a detachable balloon was introduced into the right CCF while preserving the lumen of the right internal carotid artery. A left CCF, which was detected after closure of the right CCF, was also closed with a detachable balloon. Follow-up carotid angiographies showed complete closure of both CCFs and no abnormal venous drainage. After 1 year no abnormal physical manifestations, or abnormal neurologic signs or symptoms were present.

This study was conducted to evaluate presence of embolic debris during ICA stent procedures. Nine patients with severe carotid atheromatous stenosis were treated by stent implantation under distal flow protection using a non-detachable balloon. After stent implantation, the lumen of the ICA was cleaned by aspiration of 50 cc of blood before further flush cleaning and deflation of the protection balloon. The blood samples obtained from each patient were analyzed using a microscope to check quantity and aspect of embolic debris. Significant numbers of embolic debris were recovered from blood samples in all nine stenting cases, but very few were found in four out of the five control cases. This observation demonstrates the high risk of producing embolic debris during carotid stenting. Distal balloon occlusion and cleaning procedures are techniques to provide protection from thromboembolic complications to the brain.

We propose this combined balloon occlusion and surgical technique to treat selected patients with large-giant aneurysms not suitable for a pure endovascular or surgical approach. After an occlusion test a non detachable balloon catheter is positioned deflated proximally to the neck of the aneurysm under general anesthesia. The patient is then moved to the neurosurgical room. During the intervention the balloon is inflated and deflated when necessary to allow better surgical control of the aneurysmal sac. With this approach we achieve complete aneurysm occlusion and shorten the surgery time. Since January 2003 we have treated 13 giant aneurysms (ten paraclinoid and three vertebrobasilar) without significant complications related to balloon assistance and a good outcome in all patients.
