Abstract

Vascular malformations are congenital lesions secondary to errors in the development of arteries, capillaries, veins, or lymphatics. The majority of these lesions are sporadic, however, a certain percentage can present with syndrome, which the treating physician should be aware of. These lesions are best treated from a multidisciplinary team comprising pediatricians, plastic surgeons, dermatologists, radiologists, otolaryngologists, and oral maxillary facial surgeons. Minimal invasive percutaneous therapies play a vital role in the treatment of vascular malformations, as a sole therapy of choice, or as an adjunct to surgery. Currently, a wide variety of embolic agents are utilized as seen in this chapter in the treatment of vascular malformations, however to date there are no published, randomized, control trials comparing the efficacy of the different agents. Further, animal and clinical studies are needed to help optimize the treatment for each type of vascular malformation.
