Risk Factors for Macroscopic Haemoglobinuria After Sclerotherapy Using Ethanolamine Oleate for Venous Malformations.

Objectives: Sclerotherapy is an essential component of the treatment for venous malformations, and ethanolamine oleate (EO) is known as a useful sclerosing agent. However, macroscopic haemoglobinuria (MH) and subsequent renal impairment are severe complications after sclerotherapy using EO. The present study aimed to clarify the MH risk factors for better peri-operative management of venous malformations.
