Endoscopic Transnasal Transethmoid Ligation of the Anterior Ethmoid Artery

Abstract

This study confirms that endoscopic ligation of the AEA is a safe and feasible technique for the control of epistaxis. Additionally, this anatomic knowledge is beneficial during routine endoscopic sinus surgery if AEA injury should occur. Further evaluation is necessary for clinical application of this technique in the treatment of epistaxis.
