Resumen
ZAFRA-ANGULO, Juan David et al. Carotid axis repair with autologous vein graft due to recurrent post-tonsillectomy bleeding in a child. Angiología [online]. 2023, vol.75, n.4, pp.268-272. Epub 27-Nov-2023. ISSN 1695-2987. https://dx.doi.org/10.20960/angiologia.00506.
Background:
bleeding is a very common complication after tonsillectomy and is often treated through cauterization of the tonsillar bed. However, in some cases ligation or embolization of the source of the bleeding due to vascular injury is deemed necessary.
Case report:
this is the case of a 7-year-old boy that underwent repair and revascularization of his left carotid axis with an autologous vascular graft due to recurrent bleeding postonsillectomy refractory to previous embolization of the left external carotid artery.
