We present one case of carotid-cavernous fistula caused by percutaneous 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 use of detachable balloons. Endovascular transarterial treatment of these two iatrogenic fistulas with electrically detachable platinum coils was performed. Both fistulas were occluded with preservation of the parent artery, and the patients have fully recovered.

D001164	Arteriovenous Fistula	An abnormal direct communication between an artery and a vein without passing through the CAPILLARIES. An A-V fistula usually leads to the formation of a dilated sac-like connection, arteriovenous aneurysm. The locations and size of the shunts determine the degree of effects on the cardiovascular functions such as BLOOD PRESSURE and HEART RATE.
