title: [Endovascular treatment of recurrent hemorrhage after tonsillectomy].
abstract: Bleeding from the lodge after tonsillectomy is a rare complication--approximately 3% of all cases. In most cases pharmacological treatment or reoperation is effective. In unique situ. ations, when particular severe bleeding is observed, it is necessary to perform endovascular therapy. We present a case of efficient endo-vascular embolization in 31-year-old patient with a recurrent bleeding after tonsillectomy. Superselective embolization of the ascending palatine artery can be an effective therapeutic method in severe bleeding after tonsillectomy
