Endovascular coil occlusion of a PSA is feasible and safe in patients with favorable anatomy and facilitates middle ear surgery. It decreases the size of the artery and minimizes the risk of intraoperative bleeding in patients with a large PSA. The future role of this novel technique in the management of patients with PSA-related conductive hearing loss and pulsatile tinnitus remains to be determined.
