A recent study published in the Journal of Neuro-Ophthalmology has concluded that employing the patch technique with progressively expanding flow diverters is a practical solo approach for treating direct carotid-cavernous fistulas symptoms, achieving immediate CVR resolution, and preserving cavernous sinus anatomy.
Previously, the employment of flow diverters (FDs) in managing high-flow Type-A carotid-cavernous fistulas (CCFs) has primarily been documented as an adjunctive method to conventional endovascular approaches rather than a standalone treatment option.
