Safety, feasibility, and technical success of percutaneous cryoablation to treat vascular anomalies of the extremities.

Aim: This retrospective study aims to ascertain the safety and efficacy of percutaneous cryoablation in treating vascular anomalies in the extremities.

Materials And Methods: Anomaly characteristics and safety metrics were extracted from the chart including complications classified according to the Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiological Society of Europe adverse event scale. Technical success was defined as achieving preprocedural goals in delivering cryotherapy to the targeted anatomy in the prescribed number of sessions.

Safety and Feasibility of Endovascular Management of Pediatric Dialysis Access.

Purpose: To investigate the safety and efficacy of pharmacomechanical intervention in the maintenance of pediatric dialysis access fistulas and grafts in the extremities.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective analysis of 67 interventions performed on 17 pediatric patients with dialysis access maintenance interventions was conducted. Use of angioplasty, stenting, thrombectomy devices, and thrombolytic agents such as tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) were recorded across interventions.

Paediatric sclerotherapy of vascular anomalies of the hand and digits.

Aim: Vascular anomalies in the hands and digits can cause pain, swelling and restrict the range of motion. Additionally, the small compartments they reside within portend challenges and possible risks in treatment. This study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of percutaneous sclerotherapy to treat vascular malformations in the hand and digits in paediatric patients.

Management options for vascular anomalies in the distal extremities.

Vascular anomalies arise during embryologic development due to errors in vasculogenesis. They are associated with sporadic or inherited mutations in receptors, growth factors or enzymes within various vasculogenic pathways such as mTOR, VEGF, and PI3K. Vascular anomalies have the capability to cause significant symptoms and disability, especially when located in the distal extremities.
