“…Level of Evidence IV This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article. For a full description of these Evidence-Based Medicine ratings, please refer to the The use of superselective microcatheter angiography and embolization is a known modality for prompt treatment of bleeding from traumatic facial injury [1,2] and refractory epistaxis [3,4] when local methods fail. Despite this successful profile, its use in treatment of hemorrhagic complications after facial aesthetic surgery is underreported.…”

“…Microcatheter angiography and embolization can be beneficial in these select cases of clinically significant small-artery bleeding. The use of superselective angiography and embolization is well documented in the treatment of vascular malformations of the head and neck, bleeds after facial trauma, and refractory epistaxis [1][2][3][4]. However, the reports describing its utility in diagnosing and treating hemorrhagic complications of aesthetic surgery are scarce.…”

“…Transarterial embolization of the external carotid artery (ECA) has been demonstrated to be safe and effective in decreasing bleeding in patients with other head and neck tumors. [8] Endovascular techniques have also been successfully used for vascular lesions resulting from acute facial trauma [9,10]. Angiographic embolization of the left external carotid artery was a conservative approach that stabilized the rapidly expanding hematoma, but it may have contributed to the necrosis and poor wound healing encountered post-operatively.…”

Significant hemorrhage in Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF-1) patients occurs infrequently, but has potentially devastateing consequences when occurring in the head and neck region. There have been no prior reports of patients with hemodynamically significant, rapidly-expanding lesions into a neurofibroma in the head and neck region without preceding trauma. This case describes the management of a spontaneous, rapidly expanding facial hematoma in an NF-1 patient with an extensive facial and skull base plexiform neurofibroma. The patient underwent angioembolization of his left external carotid artery prior to operative management. The strategies utilized can be extended to management of facial hematomas arising from more common situations such as fractures, lacerations, and pseudoaneursyms, along with bleeding from subacute conditions like other head and neck cancers.

“…A diagnostic arteriography and superselective embolization, aided by a coaxial microcatheter, has definitively replaced external carotid artery ligation in modern trauma centers, where this approach is available [4,9,13,18,[27][28][29][30] (Fig. 12.5).…”
