Background: Although sclerotherapy is widely used to treat vascular malformations (VMs), it is associated with several challenges. One significant issue is the insufficient understanding of the influence of various factors on the stability of polidocanol (POL) foam used in sclerotherapy.
Objective: This study aimed to explore the effect of the catheter needle caliber on foam stability when using POL with or without hyaluronic acid (HA) for the treatment of VMs.
Article Synopsis
- Foam sclerotherapy is an effective treatment for varicose veins, with its success tied to the stability of the foam used.
- Two methods for creating physician-compounded foam (PCF), the double syringe system (DSS) and the Tessari method, were compared for their foam stability.
- The DSS method produced more stable and uniform foam than the Tessari method, with the stability linked to the angle of the connector used between syringes.
