[Closed injuries to the extracranial carotid artery].

A series of 26 cases of injury to the extracranial carotid artery included 3 patients with false aneurysms, 21 dissecting aneurysms, and 3 aneurysms following direct trauma. Clinical and angiographic findings, and clinical course in the 26 patients are described, together with changes observed on angiography in the 11 cases where this was repeated. Prognosis in this series appeared to be better than that usually described.

[Haemostatic embolization: possibilities and prospects. 190 cases (author's transl)].

Among more than 1 100 embolizations performed by one team, 190 were for haemostatic purposes. Owing to the ever increasing availability of suitable material and trained operators, no vascular territory nowadays is unaccessible to the technique. Simultaneous identification of the lesions and control of bleeding are advantages which no longer need be demonstrated. It must be noted that haemostatic embolization can and should be used in debilitated patients with acute or chronic lesions, even in the presence of disseminated intravascular coagulation.

Therapeutic angiography in neuroradiology. Classical data, recent advances and perspectives.

This report summarizes the extraordinary development of the neuroradiological entrance into the treatment of massive vascular malformations of the head and spine, also highly vascularized tumors, by embolization accomplished with the appropriate type of catheter and highly refined technique, in collaboration with the surgeons of neurology, ophthalmology, otolaryngology, and of the vascular system.

Place of embolization in the treatment of severe epistaxis.

On the basis of long-term study on embolization for severe epistaxis, the authors show the different indications and results of this relatively new method; and 54 cases are presented including Rendu-Osler diseases, primary and traumatic epistaxis, or those due to vascular malformation and benign or malignant tumors. Embolization can prove a very effective method in most cases.

[The value of embolization in severe epistaxis. Indications and methods (author's transl)].

When performed by a team who are experienced in the use of embolization of the external carotid region, this procedure is nowadays a safe and extremely effective method for treating severe, massive, uncontrolled, recurrent epistaxis. Arteriography shows the site of bleeding, the nature of the lesion, and the arteries affected. When carried out by the femoral or common carotid route, this method was effective in 52 cases of severe epistaxis of various origins: essential epistaxis, or from hypertension, trauma, Rendu Osler's disease, vascular malformations, carotidocavernous fistulae, benign or malignant tumors, hematological affections, or hemostatic disorders. To avoid risk it is essential that a perfect technique be used and a certain number of principles respected. The method is effective in cases were surgical hemostasis is insufficient, and its rapidity of action allows removal of packs immediately after embolization. This clearly underlines the value of constantly available vascular radiology units for treatment in this region as well as in other parts of the body.
