Abstract

The intersection of head and neck surgery and neurointervention is long-standing. This chapter reviews the role of endovascular procedures in preoperative tumor embolization, endovascular treatment of epistaxis, temporary and permanent vessel occlusion, treatment of carotid blowout syndrome, and the treatment of iatrogenic vessel injuries to the head and neck. Presentations, indications for treatments, treatment options, and technical aspects of treatment are reviewed.
