Area of Science:

  • Interventional Radiology
  • Vascular Surgery

Background:

  • Peripheral interventional radiologists possess technical skills for external carotid artery (ECA) embolization.
  • Common indications include hypervascular tumors, epistaxis, and trauma.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review pertinent anatomy for ECA embolization.
  • To discuss technical procedural aspects and relevant literature.
  • To characterize the role of ECA embolization for practicing interventionists.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of ECA embolization procedures.
  • Discussion of anatomical considerations.
  • Analysis of technical aspects and outcomes.

Main Results:

  • ECA embolization is well-defined in trauma, though series are small.

  • Transcatheter treatment for epistaxis is typically for intractable cases.
  • Preoperative embolotherapy for tumors is common but has a debated risk-benefit ratio.

    • Conclusions:

    • ECA embolization is a valuable tool for interventional radiologists.
    • Understanding anatomy and technique is crucial for successful outcomes.
    • Further research may clarify the risk-benefit of tumor embolization.
