Graft stent for carotid cavernous fistula (CCF) is known to be a useful treatment. Here, we report our experiences of treatment with graft stents for CCFs. From 2015 through 2018, six patients underwent graft stent placement for CCF occlusion. Clinical and angiographic data were retrospectively reviewed. Access and deployment of a graft stent was successful in all patients and complete occlusion immediately after the procedure or 3-month follow-up angiography. Graft stents should be considered as an alternative option of treating CCFs and preserving the parent artery by arterial wall reconstruction especially in patients with a fistula that cannot be successfully occluded with detachable balloons or coils.
