  • Title: Ligation of the external carotid and anterior ethmoidal arteries for severe or unusual epistaxis resulting from facial fractures.
    Author: Hassard AD, Kirkpatrick DA, Wong FS.
    Journal: Can J Surg; 1986 Nov; 29(6):447-9. PubMed ID: 3779550.
    Abstract:
    From July 1980 to December 1983, 16 patients with severe posterior epistaxis were treated by arterial ligation. The procedure was successful in all. Two cases of life-threatening and unusual epistaxis resulting from maxillary fractures are presented in detail. The authors conclude that ligation of the external carotid and anterior ethmoidal arteries is a speedy, safe and highly successful method of dealing with posterior epistaxis.
