@entity1 @entity2548 @entity292 @entity158 @entity10 @entity130
Six @entity1 with @entity2548 of the internal maxillary artery were treated with transarterial embolization. The @entity1 ranged in age from 19 to 47 years, with a mean of 26.5 years. Each had a lifelong history of symptoms suggestive of a congenital origin of symptoms. There was no history of @entity130 . The most common initial symptoms were bruit (83%), pulsatile mass (67%), and @entity158 (50%). In one @entity1 prior surgical ligation of the external carotid artery had been attempted, but it led to aggravation of @entity10 . All @entity1 were treated with placement of a detachable balloon at the @entity292 site. In one @entity1 the balloon migrated through the @entity292 , which was retreated with coils. Complete obliteration of the @entity292 was achieved in all @entity1 . The follow-up ranged from 2 months to 10 years, with a mean of 5.2 years. @entity2548 of the internal maxillary artery are rare and can be treated effectively with transvascular techniques.
