Abstract
We present one case of carotid-cavernous fistula caused by percutaneou s treatment of trigeminal neuralgia and one case of vertebrovertebral fistula caused by percutaneous internal jugular vein cannulation. Each fistula had a small arteriovenous communication that prevented the us e of detachable balloons. Endovascular transarterial treatment of thes e two iatrogenic fistulas with electrically detachable platinum coils was performed. Both fistulas were occluded with preservation of the pa rent artery, and the patients have fully recovered.
