[Super-selective arteriography and embolization in severe epistaxis].

Super-selective arteriography technique is described. This examination enables the finest collaterals of the branches of the external carotid to be shown. Numerous anastomoses which explain the ineffectiveness of certain arterial ligatures used in epistaxis can be seen. Embolization has become an extremely common method for all facial malformations responsible for epistaxis and for O.-R.-L. tumours fed by the external carotid. Several cases are described which demonstrate that embolization in severe epistaxis is a speedy, elegant and permanent method.

Superselective arteriography and therapeutic embolisation for vascular malformations. (Angiodysplasias).

By virtue of superselective arteriography which makes possible the catheterisation of extremely fine arterial branches, the authors were able to embolise vascular malformations (angiodysplasias). Twenty seven cases were treated in this way with satisfactory results for twenty one of them. Seven patients must be operated on after the embolisation. The problem of the future of this technique is considered, and it will perhaps be possible to avoid revascularization by the use of new substances.
