Percutaneous MR Imaging-Guided Laser Ablation for the Treatment of Symptomatic Cervicofacial Vascular Malformations.

Purpose: To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of percutaneous magnetic resonance (MR) imaging-guided laser ablation for the treatment of symptomatic soft tissue vascular malformations (VMs) in the face and neck.

Materials And Methods: An institutional review board-approved retrospective review was undertaken of all consecutive patients who underwent MR imaging-guided and monitored laser ablation for treatment of symptomatic, cervicofacial soft tissue VM. Preablation and postablation MR imaging findings were independently reviewed.

Percutaneous MR Imaging-Guided Laser Ablation and Cryoablation for the Treatment of Pediatric and Adult Symptomatic Peripheral Soft Tissue Vascular Anomalies.

Purpose: To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of percutaneous magnetic resonance (MR) imaging-guided laser ablation and cryoablation for the treatment of symptomatic soft tissue vascular anomalies (VAs) of the trunk and extremities.

Materials And Methods: An institutional review board-approved retrospective review was undertaken of all pediatric and adult patients who underwent MR imaging-guided and monitored laser ablation and/or cryoablation for the treatment of symptomatic peripheral soft tissue VA. Preablation and postablation MR imaging was independently reviewed.
