(a) Temporary balloon occlusion test. The inflated balloon is seen in the left common carotid artery of a patient with uncontrolled haemorrhage secondary to malignant erosion of the carotid artery; (b) lateral view of the same patient after coil embolization; (c) this patient required permanent balloon occlusion to fully control the haemorrhage
