  • Title: Argon and YAG laser photocoagulation and excision of hemangiomas and vascular malformations of the nose.
    Author: Apfelberg DB.
    Journal: West J Med; 1995 Aug; 163(2):122-7. PubMed ID: 7571558.
    Abstract:
    A total of 22 patients--19 children, 3 adults--with a variety of hemangiomas and vascular malformations of the nose were treated over a 5-year period. Various laser modalities were used. Some lesions could be photocoagulated by the argon or the yttrium-aluminum-garnet (YAG) laser. Larger lesions were resected with the YAG laser and sapphire tips. Preliminary arteriography with superselective embolization was necessary in 1 patient. Total removal was possible in 13 patients, and no complications or side effects were noted.
