  • Title: [Superficial venous malformations].
    Author: Barbier C, Martin A, Papagiannaki C, Cottier JP, Lorette G, Herbreteau D.
    Journal: Presse Med; 2010 Apr; 39(4):471-81. PubMed ID: 20304597.
    Abstract:
    Superficial venous malformations are part of a larger group now called superficial vascular anomalies and previously known as angiomas. These include vascular tumors or infantile hemangioma, low-flow vascular malformations (capillary, lymphatic, and superficial venous malformations) and high-flow vascular malformations (arteriovenous malformations). Some of these lesions are complex. This classification facilitates their multidisciplinary therapeutic management. Embolization is an effective curative treatment for malformations of small and intermediate size. The objective for large or complex malformations is to restore anatomic function and improve cosmetic results.
