Procedure Process and Definitive Solution
In open surgery, it may be necessary to make deep incisions in the facial area or inside the mouth to find the bleeding vessel. Embolization, on the other hand, is performed entirely closed (intravascularly) with an angio logic. During the procedure, the patient only feels a needle insertion in their groin.
A catheter is advanced to the vessels leading to the nose. By administering a dye drug (contrast medium), the "leaking (bleeding)" point is seen exactly on the X-ray screen. Then, special microparticles or coils are released from inside the catheter, occluding that part of the vessel.
The facial and nasal region has a very rich vascular network (collateral circulation). Since only the fine bleeding branch is occluded, there is no disruption in the nutrition or functions of the nose and other parts of the face.
