Abstract
Aneurysms of a persistent trigeminal artery (PTA) are exceptionally uncommon, and their rupture leading to a carotid-cavernous fistula (CCF) is even more extraordinary. The contemporary management of CCF predominantly revolves around endovascular approaches, with a variety of techniques such as detachable balloons or coils, coil embolization augmented with Onyx adhesive, and stent grafting. Herein, we report a successful intervention in a patient with a CCF instigated by a ruptured PTA aneurysm, employing a combination of detachable coils and endovascular electrothrombosis, yielding favorable outcomes.
期刊介绍:
Evidence of surgical interventions go back to prehistoric times. Since then, the field of surgery has developed into a complex array of specialties and procedures, particularly with the advent of microsurgery, lasers and minimally invasive techniques. The advanced skills now required from surgeons has led to ever increasing specialization, though these still share important fundamental principles.
Frontiers in Surgery is the umbrella journal representing the publication interests of all surgical specialties. It is divided into several “Specialty Sections” listed below. All these sections have their own Specialty Chief Editor, Editorial Board and homepage, but all articles carry the citation Frontiers in Surgery.
Frontiers in Surgery calls upon medical professionals and scientists from all surgical specialties to publish their experimental and clinical studies in this journal. By assembling all surgical specialties, which nonetheless retain their independence, under the common umbrella of Frontiers in Surgery, a powerful publication venue is created. Since there is often overlap and common ground between the different surgical specialties, assembly of all surgical disciplines into a single journal will foster a collaborative dialogue amongst the surgical community. This means that publications, which are also of interest to other surgical specialties, will reach a wider audience and have greater impact.
The aim of this multidisciplinary journal is to create a discussion and knowledge platform of advances and research findings in surgical practice today to continuously improve clinical management of patients and foster innovation in this field.
