Treatment of a patient with carotid blowout syndrome with a new deconstructive embolization technique

Carotid blowout syndrome is a rare clinical conditions with a high mortality rate, especially in patients with head and neck tumors who have received radiotherapy and chemotherapy. We present our patient who had hemangioendothelioma of the neck for 5 years and therefore received radiotherapy, fistul...
