title: [Selective angioembolization: a valuable adjunct in damage control strategies applied to facial gunshot wounds. Case report].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Selective angioembolization (SAE) is a nonsurgical alternative for controlling traumatic facial bleeding.
  
  
  METHODS
  We report a case of a patient who sustained a facial gunshot wound. The patient was treated with SAE as an adjuvant to damage control, leading to the arrest of hemorrhage.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  SAE is a valuable adjuvant in arresting traumatic facial bleeding.
