title: [Digital subtraction angiography and selective arterial embolization in the treatment of vascular tumors in nasopharynx and nasal sinuses].
abstract: The paper presents the treatment of vascular tumors in nasopharynx and nasal sinuses with digital subtraction angiography (DSA) and selective arterial embolization. By using preoperative embolization of blood supply arteries, the intraoperative bleeding was reduced significantly, the tumors were shrank and the tumor limits were clear. We recommend that DSA and selective arterial embolization should be used as a routine preoperative method adjunct to surgery for the treatment of vascular tumors of nasopharynx and nasal sinuses.
