Background: Surgical resection is the most effective treatment for the patients with locally recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) in selected cases. Due to the complicated anatomical structure of nasopharynx, surgical resection may cause serious complications, including fatal bleeding. The subsequent implementation of internal carotid artery (ICA) embolization following a negative result of balloon occlusion test (BOT) can effectively reduce the risks of massive hemorrhage caused by the tumor or surgical management of the tumor. Objective: To explore the feasibility of perioperative nursing management for the patients with locally recurrent NPC underwent BOT and ICA embolization. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study investigated 81 locally recurrent NPC patients, who underwent BOT with or without following ICA embolization. Perioperative nursing management was performed for each case. In particular, close observations were conducted for the signs of brain function including consciousness, pupil size, vision, verbal ability, cognition, memory, limb movement, muscle strength, in comparison with the corresponding records before BOT. The positive or negative tested results of BOT, as well as the complications of BOT and ICA embolization were analyzed. The following nasopharyngeal surgeries was recorded. Results: A total of 82 BOTs were performed in 81 patients, including bilateral BOT in 1 case. The negative rate of BOT was 88.3% (76 of 82), which supported the option of ICA embolization procedure. After BOT, 75 patients underwent the following ICA embolization without neurological complications. Among them, 57 patients (76.0%) underwent subsequent salvage surgery to remove nasopharyngeal tumors without the occurrence of massive bleeding. The other 18 patients (24.0%) did not undergo salvage surgery due to tumor progression. Conclusion: Sequential implementation of BOT and ICA embolization reduced the risk of fatal bleeding during nasopharyngeal surgery, providing an opportunity for surgical treatment of locally recurrent NPC. Strict perioperative nursing management contributed to the successful treatment outcome.
