Comparative evaluation of different surgical methods for the treatment of head and neck angiodysplasia

The paper summarizes the experience with the management of 113 patients presenting with head and neck angiodysplasia by traditional surgical methods and different variants of combined therapy including surgical treatment, roentgeno-endovascular transcatheter embolization, and sclerosing therapy. Advantages of the combined approach to the managment of extensive angiodysplasias of the head and the neck over the isolated surgical treatment are demonstrated.
