RESUMO
Objective: To review the effect of the treatment of maxillofacial and cervical tumor with external cervical atery intervention technique(ECAI). Methods: 92 cases of maxillofacial and cervical tumor were treated with ECAI. Therapeutic embolization was conducted in 30 cases, arteroy perfusion in 42 and opacification in 20. The patients were cared psycologically befor operation, monitored carefully in operation, especially for contrast medium responsing, antitumor drug responsing,embolisming responsing, etc. Results: Permanent embolization was achieved in 5 cases of hemangioma, bleeding was reduced by 75% in 25 cases treated with subsidiary embolization, local and general condition was improved in 32 patients with malignant tumor by perfusion of antitumor drug. Accuration of angiography was achieved in 93% of the cases. Complications were found in 7 cases and cured after treatment but in 1 who died of cerebrovascular disease. Conclusion: Perioperative monitoring is important to eliminate complications of ECAI.
