Imaging assessment and treatment of soft‐tissue venous malformations: Retrospective case series study of 126 cases
Dermatologic Therapy Sep 16, 2020
Sun LM, Xu MN, Xu Y, et al. - Given that venous malformations (VMs) are common slow‐flow vascular malformations, which affect almost anywhere of the body, researchers retrospectively analyzed the imaging examinations, treatment measures, and follow‐up results of the patients with VMs in the clinic. In this series, imaging examinations involved ultrasound, MRI, computed tomography (CT) scan and enhanced scan, percutaneous sinus angiography and three‐dimensional CT imaging, plain film, CT venography, CT angiography, and digital subtraction angiography. Treatment measures involved surgical excision (n = 20), sclerotherapy (n = 86, including absolute ethanol [n = 75], polidocanol [n = 8], and pingyangmycin [n = 3]), and combination treatment with intralesional copper wire retention and sclerotherapy(n = 20). Most of the lesions shrunk obviously or vanished after treatment, and the symptoms have been largely relieved. To choose appropriate care, comprehensive and accurate imaging assessment of VMs is required.
