Foam sclerotherapy of venous malformations

Foam sclerotherapy of venous malformations

Abstract

Venous malformations may occur either as localized or segmental lesions. Radiologic imaging defines the extent of involvement but magnetic resonance imaging is the best modality: it gives a bright hypersignal on T2-weighted spin-echo sequences. During a 30-month period, 1427 patients were investigated for venous disorders and 1% were found to have venous angiomata (9 women and 5 men). The age range was 15 to 76 years (mean 30.8 ± 18.6 years). Foam was produced by the Tessari technique using 1% or 2% concentration of polidocanol. The duplex Doppler was used for ultrasound guidance to insure intravenous flow of foam and to monitor effects of treatment. A goal of pain-free healing of ulcers or cosmetic improvement was set for each patient. The mean number of treatments was 3.6 ± 2.8 (range 1–10). Pain-free healing was achieved in patients with non-healing ulcerations and cosmetically, all of the patients were improved. Sclerosant foam is useful in treating low-flow venous malformations.
