ABSTRACT
Direct carotid-cavernous fistula is a communication between the internal carotid artery and the cavernous sinus, most of the times established following trauma or rupture of a cavernous aneurysm. The most commonly used treatments (coils, detachable latex balloons, stents, or liquid agents) carry ischemic or hemorrhagic risks, related to hemodynamic diversion of cerebral blood flow or permanent dual antiplatelet therapy. We report a case of coiling of a carotid-cavernous fistula assisted by the Comaneci, a temporary adjustable bridging mesh (Rapid Medical, Israel), to avoid transarterial or -venous migration. In our experience, Comaneci-assisted coiling represents a feasible solution to maintain patency of the distal vessels during coiling and avoid dual antiplatelet medications, even using a transradial approach.
