Background:
Selective angioembolization (SAE) is a nonsurgical alternative for controlling traumatic facial bleeding.
Clinical Case:
We report a case of a patient who sustained a facial gunshot wound. The patient was treated with SAE as an adjuvant to damage control, leading to the arrest of hemorrhage.
Conclusions:
SAE is a valuable adjuvant in arresting traumatic facial bleeding.
