Transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) is an effective and minimally invasive treatment againstuncontrolled arterial bleeding. We report a traumatic aneurysm that occurred after tooth extraction and was treatedby TAE. A 48-year-old woman was referred to our hospital because of uncontrolled intraoral arterial bleeding 4days after third molar extraction. In her medical history, she had been treated for liver cirrhosis and hepatocellularcarcinoma. A pseudoaneurysm of the inferior alveolar artery was found on selective carotid angiography. Massive arterial bleeding from the aneurysm was successfully treated by TAE. TAE and selective carotid angiographywere useful for the management of hemorrhage probably caused by a traumatic aneurysm after toothextraction.
