[Classification of vascular tumours and vascular malformations. Contribution of the ISSVA 2014/2018 classification].

The study of vascular anomalies, "angiomas", vascular tumours and vascular malformations is made difficult by the great variety and confusion of the names used in the literature for these diseases, some of which are rare. The great merit of the classification proposed by the International Society for the Study of Vascular Anomalies (ISSVA), adopted in 2014 and modified in 2018, is to propose a unambiguous nomenclature and to try to group these lesions in a logical way, contrasting with the lists of the usual "classifications". This classification is based on the distinction between proliferative lesions (tumours and reactive lesions) and those which are due to a congenital anomaly of vascular morphogenesis (vascular malformations).

Injection of bevacizumab and cyanoacrylate glue for hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia.

Objectives/hypothesis: The objective of this study was to report for the first time on the results of submucosal injections of bevacizumab used in conjunction with cyanoacrylate glue sclerotherapy in hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT).

Study Design: Retrospective analytic chart review.

Methods: We performed a chart review that included all patients with HHT treated with intranasal bevacizumab and cyanoacrylate glue for refractory epistaxis at Lariboisiere University Hospital from 2013 with a minimum follow-up of 6 months.

Diode endovascular laser treatment in venous malformations of the upper aerodigestive tract.

Purpose: Venous malformations of the upper aerodigestive tract can cause pain, dysphagia, obstructive sleep apnea, and rarely bleeding. We studied 980-nm diode endovenous laser therapy.

Material And Methods: This is a 2007-2014 retrospective study in our vascular anomalies center.

Hepatic and pancreatic involvement in hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia: quantitative and qualitative evaluation with 64-section CT in asymptomatic adult patients.

Purpose: To analyse quantitatively and qualitatively asymptomatic hepatic and pancreatic involvement in hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) using 64-section helical CT.

Materials And Methods: The 64-section helical CT examinations of 19 patients with HHT (8 men, 11 women; mean age, 58.6 years) were quantitatively and qualitatively analysed and compared to those of 19 control subjects who were matched for age and sex.

[Treatments of hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia of the nasal mucosa].

Unlabelled: Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia is a systemic autosomal dominant disorder involving blood vessels. The most common symptom is recurrent epistaxis. The treatments of these epistaxis are numerous but such treatments are often symptomatic and their effects are often not sustained.
