Abstract
Purpose: This study evaluated the results of polidocanol sclerotherapy in the treatment of venous malformations (VM) including patient satisfaction, perceived improvement, and predictors of satisfaction.
Material and method: Patients with VM that underwent polidocanol foam sclerotherapy between June 2013 and July 2021 in a single center were retrospectively evaluated. Patient demographics, VM, and treatment characteristics were analyzed. Patient-reported outcomes and satisfaction were analyzed with a questionnaire.
Results: This study included 232 (136, 58.6%, female) patients. The mean age was 24.49 ± 12.45 years (range 3-72). The clinical response rate was 82.3%. The rate of satisfaction was 82.3%, and 116 (50%) patients were significantly satisfied. There were no major complications. Clinical response and VM margin were related to satisfaction (p < 0.01, p = 0.012, respectively). Clinical response to pretreatment swelling was related to significant satisfaction (p = 0.02).
Conclusion: Polidocanol sclerotherapy was safe and effective in VM treatment with high satisfaction and low complication rates.
