Abstract

Proximal ligation usually controls bleeding from a tumor‐eroded carotid artery. When this maneuver failed, two intraluminal balloon catheters were passed distally into the vessel, after which they were inflated and left in place for six weeks. The patient had no neurologic sequelae or further bleeding before succumbing to tumor progression 10 months later.
