Whilst it is generally accepted that the standard management for anterior or benign epistaxis
is either cautery or anterior nasal packing, that of posterior or intractable epistaxis remains …

Aim: Embolization of external carotid vessels in the treatment of intractable epistaxis is not
well documented in Australasia. The aim of the present retrospective study was to audit our …

The majority of episodes of spontaneous posterior epistaxis treated with embolisation are
idiopathic in nature. The angiographic findings are typically normal. Specific angiographic …

Background The goal of this study was to examine safety and efficacy of transarterial
embolization for the treatment of idiopathic posterior epistaxis. Methods A retrospective chart …

Objective: To provide an update on the ever-increasing role that embolisation plays in the
practice of otolaryngology. Method: A literature search was performed during November …

Background Transnasal endoscopic sphenopalatine artery ligation (TESPAL) and selective
embolization both provide excellent treatment success rate in the management of intractable …
