Abstract
Purpose: The crucial aspects of sclerotherapy are to achieve an adequate dwell time with endothelium and to limit the egress of sclerosant into the circulation: both issues could be addressed if the optimal means to control the VM venous outflow was known.
Material and methods: Medical literature from 1984 to August 2024 about sclerotherapy of vascular malformations was reviewed; all articles adopting and describing in technical details a stop-flow technique were considered and analyzed.
Results: multiples outflow-control techniques have been identified and categorized into four classes, described in technical details and discussed, illustrating for each a case performed in our Center. Lastly, a practical workflow was elaborated.
Conclusions: the choice of venous embolization technique should be tailored to the specific VM type and location to maximize therapeutic effects while minimizing adverse events.
期刊介绍:
JVIR, published continuously since 1990, is an international, monthly peer-reviewed interventional radiology journal. As the official journal of the Society of Interventional Radiology, JVIR is the peer-reviewed journal of choice for interventional radiologists, radiologists, cardiologists, vascular surgeons, neurosurgeons, and other clinicians who seek current and reliable information on every aspect of vascular and interventional radiology. Each issue of JVIR covers critical and cutting-edge medical minimally invasive, clinical, basic research, radiological, pathological, and socioeconomic issues of importance to the field.
