Carotid sinus syndrome and embolization procedures.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two patients developed carotid sinus syndrome following embolization procedures. One patient had undergone balloon occlusion of the internal carotid artery; in the other patient, embolization of a carotid body tumor had been performed. The method of diagnosis as well as the etiology and treatment are discussed.

Transarterial platinum coil embolization of carotid-cavernous fistulas.
Of the 227 embolization procedures performed by our neurointerventional section for symptomatic carotid-cavernous fistulas over the past 10 years, five involved placement of platinum coils in the cavernous sinus from a transarterial route. In four patients, prior transarterial balloon procedures had failed to produce fistula closure. In the fifth patient, with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, a prior tr...
متن کاملDirect puncture of the proximally occluded internal carotid artery for treatment of carotid cavernous fistulas.
Three patients with symptomatic carotid cavernous fistulas (CCFs) characterized by complete occlusion of the proximal internal carotid artery were treated by percutaneous puncture and embolization. Two patients had CCFs associated with traumatic dissections of the internal carotid artery and were treated initially with trapping procedures. Both patients had persistent symptoms related to the CC...

BACKGROUND Percutaneous ganglyolysis treatment of trigeminal neuralgia is rarely associated with vascular complications, such as hematoma, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and stroke. Internal carotid artery injury may also occur after misguided needle placement, particularly far posteriorly or medially, resulting in carotid cavernous fistula. Anatomical variations of the foramen ovale can predispose t...
متن کاملTreatment of dural carotid-cavernous fistulas via the superior ophthalmic vein.
Symptomatic patients with dural carotid-cavernous fistulas often require treatment. Traditional therapies, which often are not completely successful, include manual common carotid artery compression and embolization via transarterial routes. This report describes four symptomatic patients with spontaneous dural carotid-cavernous fistulas who were treated unsuccessfully with transarterial embolo...
متن کاملTransarterial balloon-assisted n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate embolization of direct carotid cavernous fistulas.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Transarterial detachable balloon embolization of direct carotid cavernous fistulas (DCCFs) has become an optimal treatment. In a few cases, the parent artery has to be sacrificed to achieve morphologic cure. We present our experience with transarterial balloon-assisted n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate (n-BCA) embolization of DCCFs in which there was failure to achieve angiographic...
