“…Clinical success and complications were comparable to previous BRTO reports [42]. Moreover, since polidocanol was originally developed as a local anesthetic, patients felt more comfortable during the procedure because of its anesthetic effect [43,44].…”

The term vascular anomaly represents a broad spectrum of vascular pathology, including proliferating vascular tumours and vascular malformations. While the treatment of most vascular anomalies is multifactorial, interventional radiology procedures, including embolic therapy, sclerotherapy and laser coagulation among others, are playing an increasingly important role in vascular anomaly management. This review discusses the diagnosis and treatment of common vascular malformations, with emphasis on the technique, efficacy and complications of different interventional radiology procedures.

“…Percutaneous sclerotherapy for venous malformations (VMs) has recently been explored as a successful alternative to surgery [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. Traditionally, absolute ethanol has been the agent of choice for sclerotherapy [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9].…”

Polidocanol sclerotherapy for painful venous malformations: evaluation of safety and efficacy in pain relief

et al. 2009

The aim of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the safety and efficacy of polidocanol sclerotherapy in pain relief for painful venous malformations (VMs). Thirty-one patients with painful VMs underwent polidocanol sclerotherapy. Pain intensity was assessed with an 11-point verbal numerical rating scale. Sclerotherapy was technically successful in 58 (98.3%) of 59 sessions. Twenty-six (89.7%) out of 29 patients experienced an improvement in pain after sclerotherapy at follow-up, a mean of 46 months after treatment. The mean pain score improved from 6.6 + or - 2.5 before treatment to 2.4 + or - 2.9 after treatment (P <.001). The factors that significantly influenced the therapeutic effect were size of lesion (P = .008), margin of lesion (P = .006), and stasis of sclerosant (P = .032). Adverse events included hypotension and bradycardia during the procedure. No major complication occurred. Polidocanol sclerotherapy is safe and most efficacious in providing pain relief for patients with small VMs (equal to or less than 10 cm in diameter), VMs with a well-defined margin, and VMs with good stasis of sclerosant during sclerotherapy.

Sonographically guided percutaneous sclerosis using 1% polidocanol in the treatment of vascular malformations

Abstract: Sonographically guided percutaneous injection of 1% polidocanol for sclerosis of peripheral vascular lesions is simple, effective, and safe. This technique is especially effective in cases of soft tissue venous malformation and lymphangioma.
