Key Points

This analysis aims to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of embolizing carotid-cavernous fistulas using Onyx with coils.
Conducted a systematic review of existing literature
Performed a single-arm meta-analysis of available patient outcomes
Focused on embolization techniques involving Onyx and coils
Demonstrated high obliteration rates of carotid-cavernous fistulas
Showed significant symptomatic resolution following treatment
Highlighted the effectiveness particularly in direct (type A) fistulas

Abstract

Embolization of CCFs using Onyx combined with coils is a highly effective and safe treatment, yielding consistently high obliteration and symptomatic resolution rates. This approach appears especially promising for direct (type A) fistulas. Nevertheless, larger prospective studies are needed to establish its comparative efficacy across all CCF subtypes.
