Abstract:
Objective To study the application of super-selective external carotid artery embolization in head and neck diseases. Methods DSA and super-selective external carotid artery embolization were carried out in 41 cases of head and neck diseases including 12 cases of epistaxis,7 nasopharyngeal fibroangioma,1 traumatic arterial bleeding,14 vascular malformation,and 7 malignancies. Results No recurrence of nose bleeding after embolization of epistaxis was seen within 6 - 12-month follow up. The operative bleeding was reduced significantly by preoperative embolization in nasopharyngeal fibroangioma. No recurrence of bleeding was achieved after embolization of traumatic artery. Among the cases of vascular malformation,3 were proven to be significantly effcient,6 effcient,and 5 inefficent in the 6 - 12-month follow up. Among the 7 malignant cases,3 survived more than 2 years. Conclusion Super-selective external carotid artery embolization is safe and effective in the treatment of head and neck diseases.
