About this trial
Current recommendations consider surgical ligation and supra-selective embolization as equivalent in terms of efficacy and there is no clear consensus to choose between one and the other technique. In the absence of medico-economic studies, these recommendations could not be based on any differences in efficiency between the two techniques. The management of patients with severe non-traumatic epistaxis remains controversial and varies according to the hospital and/or university centers. In practice, the use of one or the other technique depends on the habits of each reference center.
