Q: Dr. Eppley, is interested in a temporary artery ligation, however, he would like to know if the artery closes the eye could also be linked.
A: The internal orbital vasculature is not a facial area in which it would make ligation. I have never received a request and, therefore, I have never done it. I am sure that it can be done and probably so saafly without adverk effects. However, that is a theoretical statement not supported by any clinical experience.
