Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of sclerotherapy using 1% polidocanol foam for treating low-flow vascular malformations, aiming to identify factors influencing treatment success.
- Conducted between December 2016 and November 2018, the research involved 40 lesions in 38 patients, mainly consisting of venous malformations, with common symptoms including deformity, pain, and functional limitations.
- Results indicated that larger lesions (over 10 cm) correlated with higher psychosocial issues and that deep lesions were linked to more functional limitations, suggesting a need for careful patient selection for sclerotherapy.
