title: Embolization of a bleeding maxillary arteriovenous malformation via the superficial temporal artery after external carotid artery ligation.
abstract: We report a new approach of embolization in a 15-year-old boy that presented with a massive hemorrhage from a maxillary arteriovenous malformation. Re-bleeding occurred after emergent ligation of the external carotid artery. The bleeding was successfully controlled by embolization via the superficial temporal artery.
