January 1984 and January 1992 for selective angiograpic embolization (108 embolizations …

OBJECTIVE: This study examined the advantages and disadvantages of internal maxillary
artery (IMA) ligation versus embolization for the treatment of refractory posterior epistaxis …

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

Thirty patients with intractable idiopathic epistaxis were treated with endovascular therapy.
Embolization of the internal maxillary artery controlled the epistaxis in 87% of the patients …

Embolization is a remarkably versatile procedure used in nearly all vascular and
nonvascular systems to treat a wide range of pathology. The published literature is rich with …

Epistaxis is a common and in most cases benign event. Severe or recurrent epistaxis,
however, can present therapeutic problems. Forty‐five cases of supraselective embolization …

Background Refractory posterior epistaxis is a challenge for otolaryngologists. Most
algorithms for managing this condition ultimately call for interrupting the arterial blood supply …

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 …

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

• Thirty-one patients with posterior epistaxis refractory to nasal packing alone or in
