    Author: Crow WN, Scott BA, Guinto FC, Chaljub G, Wright G, Rabassa AE, Stiernberg CM.
    Journal: Arch Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg; 1992 Mar; 118(3):321-4. PubMed ID: 1554456.
    Abstract:
    A case of massive epistaxis refractory to nasal packing and bilateral surgical ligation of the internal maxillary and ethmoidal arteries is presented. Angiography revealed a pseudoaneurysm of the cervical portion of the internal carotid artery, and intravascular detachable balloons were used for epistaxis control. The appropriate use of intravascular diagnostic and therapeutic techniques is described.
