[A new application of balloon catheter in TAE]

We report a new embolization method with cobra catheter and balloon catheter in TAE for aneurysms and arterioportal fistula. Embolization for one aneurysm and one arterioportal fistula was performed using a cobra catheter, and the target vessel was temporarily blocked using a balloon catheter during the intervention. 2 cases of aneurysms and arterioportal fistula were treated successfully without coils reflux. Application of both cobra catheter with balloon catheter in TAE is effective without complication.
