PURPOSE: To determine the safety and efficacy of internal maxillary artery (IMA) and facial
artery polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) embolization for treatment of refractory idiopathic epistaxis …

Objective: Embolization is a treatment option for intractable epistaxis; however, concerns
regarding tissue necrosis, stroke and blindness persist in the literature. Methods: A …

Conclusions. Routine embolization of the ipsilateral facial artery (FA) is effective because of
the high success rate. The use of different embolic materials for the internal maxillary artery …

Objective Epistaxis is a common clinical problem, and the majority of bleedings can be
managed conservatively. However, due to extensive and sometimes life-threatening …

Epistaxis generally responds to conservative management, but a more invasive approach,
such as superselective embolization, is sometimes justified. We report our experience with …

A majority of the population will experience epistaxis at some time in their life. Most cases
will be from an anterior source and can be treated with pressure, anterior nasal packing, or …

Background We undertook this study to define the role of angiography and endovascular
embolization in the treatment of patients with intractable epistaxis. Methods A series of 19 …

OBJECTIVES: Treatment of severe epistaxis can encompass many modalities. Control rates
with all treatments are good. Morbidity among treatment groups varies. Angiographic …

To evaluate outcomes of intractable epistaxis managed with arterial embolisation. Fourteen
sequential cases of intractable epistaxis that underwent embolisation in our centre were …

Epistaxis is not uncommon, with up to 60% of the population suffering from at least one
episode in their lifetime and as many as 6% presenting for medical attention. An analysis of …
