Item Case 1-1994. Mistaken diagnosis of coarction of the aorta with aortoesophageal fistula.(Journal of cardiothoracic and vascular anesthesia, 1994)Item Cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome following aortocarotid bypass surgery.(Journal of cardiothoracic and vascular anesthesia, 1993)Item Endovascular management of carotid cavernous fistulae: observation on angiographic and clinical results.(Acta neurologica Scandinavica, 1993)Twenty-five patients with carotid cavernous fistulae (CCFs) were managed at our institute during a five-year period. Transarterial and transvenous treatment of traumatic carotid cavernous fistulae using the detachable balloon technique was performed in 21 patients resulting in angiographic and clinical cure in 20 patients and fatal outcome in one patient following venous rerouting. Surgical ligation of the infraclinoid internal carotid artery was needed in one patient. Preservation of the carotid artery was possible in 16 patients. Four patients with spontaneous CCFs were advised digital compression of carotid arteries resulting in complete closure of the fistula in one and considerable clinical improvement in two patients. One patient required transarterial obliteration of the fistula via the middle meningeal artery by means of a platinum coil and normal butyl cyanoacrylate (NBCA) resulting in total radio anatomical cure.Item Role of angiographic catheters in surgery of popliteal arteriovenous fistulas.(Cardiovascular surgery (London, England), 1993)A 50-year-old woman with a chronic, traumatic popliteal arteriovenous fistula was treated surgically by closure of the fistula. Placement of an angiographic catheter across the fistula into the venous sac immediately before surgery helped to locate the fistula accurately and quickly at operation. This simple manoeuvre will facilitate surgical treatment, particularly in cases of long-standing, chronic arteriovenous fistulas.
