Article Abstract
Congenital arteriovenous malformations (AVM) in the maxillofacial region are rare, but potentially life-threatening, vascular lesions. Here we review our experience of 13 patients with AVM of the facial soft tissues who were treated using percutaneous sclerotherapy with fibrin glue combined with OK-432 and bleomycin after embolisation. The mean (range) follow-up was 27 (14-58) months. Three of the lesions were completely controlled, eight were nearly completely controlled, and the other two were partly controlled. Our experience is that percutaneous sclerotherapy of arteriovenous malformations of the face using fibrin glue combined with OK-432 and bleomycin after embolisation is safe and effective.

Morel-Lavallée lesion: What you need to know.
J Trauma Acute Care Surg
September 2025
From the Department of Surgery, Center for Trauma and Critical Care, George Washington University, Washington, DC.
Abstract: The Morel-Lavallée lesion (MLL) is a rare closed degloving injury resulting from traumatic shearing forces that separate subcutaneous tissue from underlying fascia, creating a cavity filled with blood, lymph, and inflammatory exudate. Typically occurring in regions where skin can glide significantly over rigid structures, such as the thigh, MLLs present as fluctuant, boggy, sometimes painful lesions, which result from disrupted lymphatic and vascular structures. The lesion evolves through an inflammatory cascade leading to eventual encapsulation by dense fibrotic tissue.

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.
Patients with portal hypertension who have undergone stoma surgery are at risk of developing stomal varices, which can occasionally lead to bleeding. Recurrent stomal bleeding can be life-threatening; however, the optimal treatment for this condition remains unestablished due to the rarity of such varices. We report a case of a 73-year-old man with liver cirrhosis and a history of abdominoperineal resection with colostomy for rectal cancer, in whom stomal variceal bleeding was successfully treated with coil embolization and sclerotherapy via a direct percutaneous approach to the afferent vein.

Background: Percutaneous aspiration-sclerotherapy (PAS) is one of the most common treatments for renal cysts. In this study, we conducted an unequal-group, superior, randomized controlled trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ultrasound-guided PAS with anhydrous ethanol involving single-session multiple injections for simple renal cysts (SRCs) in adults by comparing percutaneous aspiration therapy with or without sclerosis agents.
Methods: We prospectively collected data from multiple healthcare organizations in China on 149 patients with SRCs from August 2017 to October 2018.
Single-needle percutaneous foamed sclerotherapy using ultrasound and fluoroscopy guidance using "contrast washout technique" for the treatment of a slow-flow chest wall vascular malformation in a pediatric patient.

Venous malformations (VMs) are the most common type of vascular malformation. In resource-limited settings, treating these with minimally invasive and cost-effective approaches can achieve optimal outcomes. We present the case of a 7-year-old child with a large, slow-flow VM on the right anterior chest wall, successfully treated with ultrasound- and fluoroscopy-guided foam sclerotherapy using polidocanol via the ``contrast washout'' technique.
