title: Superselective angiography with digital subtraction and embolization of a maxillary hemangioma in a patient with Eisenmenger's syndrome.
abstract: Central maxillofacial hemangiomas can represent diagnostic and therapeutic problems. The concurrent existence of Eisenmenger's complex in the presented case added an anesthetic challenge. The development of superselective arterial catheterization and digital subtraction angiography has been instrumental in improving the ability of clinicians to diagnose and effectively manage vascular lesions, especially in the maxillofacial region. Embolization remains an excellent adjunctive therapy for vascular processes.
