Anterior Ethmoid Artery Bleeding

Running Time: 1:55


 Indications: 

  •  Inadvertent injury may occur during endoscopic sinus surgery
  • Control of epistaxis

 

Highlights:

  • AEA runs along ethmoid roof in anteromedial direction
  • Direction of arterial flow is from lateral to medial

 

Keep in Mind:

  • Bleeding may be controlled with suction monopolar cautery used judiciously on low setting. Alternatively, bipolar cautery can be used to minimize current dispersion
