Abstract

SUMMARY


Purpose: Describe imaging characteristics of superficial venous malformation (VM) on flouroscopy and evaluate effectiveness of foam sclerotherapy.
Method: Prospective cohort from november 2015 till may 2017 on 26 patients with VM treated by flouroscopy-guided sclerotherapy.
Results: 26 patients with VM were involved in our study: 15,4% type I; 61,5% type II; 7,7% type III and 15,4% type IV. Malformation
dimensionwere reduced by mean of 41,3%, VM type I had 62,5% size reduction; pain score were decreased by mean of 2,9 points (48,5%).
VM type IV had 26,7% dimension reduction and 30,8% painful ease. No complication were noted.
Conclusion: Flouroscopy-guided sclerotherapy is a safe procedure to reduce size and pain for patient with VM, particularly the most dimension reduction in type I, the most pain ease in type II .
