Abstract:
Objective To report our experience in the embolization of the high-flow vascular lesion in the head and neck by direct percutaneous puncture. Methods Eleven cases of high-flow vascular lesion in the head and neck (8 cases of central hemangioma of the jaws and 3 cases of juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma) were included in this study group. The patients of central hemangioma of the jaws were embolized with coils by a 14-gauge needle, and the fibered coils were placed directly into the center of the intraosseous AVM. The patients of juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma were embolized with NBCA by a No.7 needle. The procedure was under the guidance of DSA machine (Philips V3000). Results The acute arterial bleeding in patients with central hemangioma of the jaws from the extraction of the tooth was controllable, and the pericoronal oozing of bleed disappeared in the 9-24 months follow-up. The juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibromas were resected without blood transfusion after the embolization. Conclusion The embolization of the high-flow vascular lesion in the head and neck by direct percutaneous puncture was effective and safe, however the longer follow-up was expected.
