Abstract:
Epistaxis is a common otolaryngologic emergency that is controlled frequently with conservative measures. On the other hand, more aggressive treatments are required in refractory or severe epistaxis, which may have systematical impact. About intractable posterior epistaxis, selective embolization of external carotid territory is an effective option for managing. Three patients with severe epistaxis successfully treated with selective embolization and a review of literature are exposed.
