title: [The maxillary artery embolization in the management of recurrent epistaxis].
abstract: The management of recurrent epistaxis, especially posterior epistaxis, is difficult. Anterior and posterior nasal packing constitutes the initial treatment. Ligation of the ethmoid arteries and maxillary artery is the next step if the previous methods fails. We have described three cases with recurrent epistaxis; all underwent successful diagnostic angiography and therapeutic embolization of the maxillary artery. The role of embolization in the management of persistent epistaxis has been discussed.
