Epistaxis refers to severe or recurrent nosebleeds, while skull base tumors can cause persistent bleeding due to rich blood supply. These conditions may become life-threatening when bleeding is uncontrolled by routine measures.
Embolization is a minimally invasive procedure that blocks the bleeding vessels using catheters and embolic agents. It provides rapid bleeding control, stabilizes patients, and avoids major surgery.
Severe epistaxis or bleeding skull base tumors may cause continuous nosebleeds, blood loss, anemia, or airway compromise. Early embolization is crucial when conservative treatments fail. Timely intervention controls bleeding, prevents recurrence, reduces transfusion needs, and improves patient safety and comfort while allowing further definitive management.
Embolization provides rapid and effective control of severe nasal and skull base bleeding. It reduces blood loss, prevents recurrence, and stabilizes patients. The minimally invasive approach avoids open surgery, shortens recovery, lowers complication rates, and allows safer management of complex bleeding sources with durable long-term outcomes.
When nosebleeds are severe or recurrent despite conservative treatment.
It controls bleeding; tumor treatment may require additional therapy.
Recurrence is uncommon but follow-up is advised.
