Summary

Embolization of the internal maxillary artery is an effective treatment for severe nosebleeds (epistaxis) that do not respond to nasal packing. This interventional radiology procedure offers a viable alternative to surgery for managing refractory epistaxis.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Interventional Radiology

Background:

  • Uncontrollable epistaxis often requires advanced interventions when nasal packing fails.
  • Treatment options for refractory epistaxis, such as surgery, have limitations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the therapeutic outcomes of angiography and embolization for severe epistaxis.
  • To assess the effectiveness of embolization compared to surgical ligation.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 42 patients with uncontrollable epistaxis.
  • Detailed analysis of 11 patients who underwent angiography and internal maxillary artery embolization.

Main Results:

  • Primary embolization was effective in managing refractory epistaxis.

  • Only one patient required transantral internal maxillary artery ligation, highlighting the success of embolization.

    • Conclusions:

    • Embolization of internal maxillary artery branches is a highly effective treatment for uncontrollable epistaxis.
    • Embolization represents a significant therapeutic option for epistaxis refractory to conventional packing.
