Abstract:
Objective To investigate the endovascular treatment of peripheral vascular anomaly in children and its efficacy.Methods Eighty-three children with peripheral vascular anomaly were treated via endovascular means. Before and during the endovascular operation,all the cases were diagnosed as follows: arteriovenous fistula in 23 cases, cirsoid angioma 32 and cavernous hemangioma 28. The endovascular approaches included:①transcatheter embolization using coils or gelfoam sponge;② transcatheter embolization combined with local cirrhosis agents treatment.Results Immediate angiography after embolization showed all the arteriovenous fistulas and hemangiomas were efficiently occluded and the clinical presentation and symptoms improved greatly. Follow-up one to three years after operation demonstrated 100% of efficacy and 68.7% curative rate with no complications. Conclusions Endovascular approach for peripheral vascular anomaly in children is a micro-invasive, safe and effective way.
