Abstract
- The posterior nasal bleeding sometimes develope a life threatening situation because of its limited access and the profuse vascular network of the bleeding area. There are various methods of hemostasis including packing, cautery, and arterial ligation those vary in effectiveness. But sometimes patients cannot tolerate these methods or show rebleeding sign. So, if all of these methods are not successful, we should consider the further treatment. The selective angiographic embolization has various advantages such as rapidness, repetition, good visualization, and being performed under local anesthesia, therefore it can provide useful way in patients with massive, intractable posterior nasal bleeding. We report a case of angiographic embolization for intractable posterior nasal bleeding patient and review the effectiveness of the this treatment.
