On the basis of long‐term study on embolization for severe epistaxis, the authors show the different indications and results of this relatively new method; and 54 cases are presented including Rendu‐Osler diseases, primary and traumatic epistaxis, or those due to vascular malformation and benign or malignant tumors. Embolization can prove a very effective method in most cases.
