Transvenous embolization of indirect carotid-cavernous fistula via puncture of the cubital vein and distal radial artery.

Carotid-cavernous fistula (CCF) is a pathologic communication between carotid arteries and cavernous sinus. The goal of endovascular treatment is to completely interrupt the carotid-cavernous communication with preserving normal blood flow in carotid arteries. Embolization can be performed via transarterial or transvenous access depending on anatomy and angioarchitecture of fistula.

Retrograde transvenous balloon-assisted Onyx embolization of mandibular arteriovenous malformation after hemorrhage.

Mandibular arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is a rare lesion, but it often can be presented with life-threatening bleedings. Endovascular treatment of mandibular AVMs has multiple approaches including transarterial embolization, transvenous embolization, direct puncture, and sclerotherapy. In this case study, we present a patient with mandibular AVM complicated by hemorrhage.
