Abstract:
Objective To explore the feasibility of endovascular intervention for the treatment of Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome ( KTWS ). Methods Fourteen KTWS patients underwent arteriography followed by endovascular intervention with bleomycin( A5) + extraliquid lipiodol, PVA, NBCA, steel coil, respectively. Results Both haemangioma ( nevus) lesion and varicosities of the superficial vein in the involved limb improved in all 14 patients significantly. Main complications were pain, swelling of the embolized area. Severe swelling of the whole limb occurred in 3 cases, which subsided spontaneously within 7 - 9 days. At one month follow-up limb girth at the middle part of the thigh and at the point of 10 cm below the knee reduced by 2. 1 ?0. 3 cm and 2.0 ?0.2 cm respectively. Preoperative lymphatic edema of the limb in 3 cases (3/4) and the regurgitation of the superficial femoral vein in 3 cases also improved significantly. Conclusion Endovascular intervention of KTWS leads to symptomatic improvement of patients with KTWS.
