Arterial Embolization in the Treatment of Severe Epistaxis: A Case Report

ABSTRACT: Nasal hemorrhage or epistaxis is a common finding in the emergency department. The causes of epistaxis are varied and can be classified as local, systemic or a combination of both. The aim of this study was to report a case of embolization of branches of the maxillary artery for treatment...
