An intravascular procedure was used to occlude the internal carotid artery of two horses with epistaxis caused by guttural pouch mycosis. In each horse, the affected internal carotid artery was ligated close to its origin. A balloon-tipped catheter was introduced into the artery distal to the ligature, and its tip was advanced beyond the site of infection. The balloon was then inflated so that the infected segment of artery was isolated from the cerebral vascular system. The catheters were removed at 14 and 51 days, and both horses were returned to training and racing. Neither horse had further episodes of epistaxis.
采用血管内手术封堵了两匹因咽鼓管囊霉菌病而鼻出血的马的颈内动脉。在每匹马中，将受影响的颈内动脉在其起源处附近结扎。将带气囊的导管插入结扎部位远端的动脉，并将其尖端推进到感染部位之外。然后将气囊充气，使动脉的感染段与脑血管系统隔离。分别在14天和51天时取出导管，两匹马都恢复了训练和比赛。两匹马均未再发生鼻出血。
