Q: Dr. Eppley, he is interested in a Temporal Artery Ligation, however he would like to know if the artery near his eye could be ligated as well.
A:The inner orbital vasculature is not a facial area in which I would perform ligation. I have never had a request for it and thus have never done it. I am certain that it can be performed and probably done so safely without any adverse effects. However that is a theoretical statement not backed by any clinical experience.
