Abstract
Hemorrhage from an infected carotid arterial-cutaneous fistula was treated by occulsion of the common carotid artery with a 6-French (Swan-Ganz) balloon catheter. After 9 mo. there was no recurrence of bleeding or neurological sequelae. Temporary balloon occlusion to induce thrombosis of a major artery is an alternative to transcatheter embolization of small particulate material and larger foreign bodies.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
