[Quality standards for ultrasonographic assessment of peripheral vascular malformations and vascular tumors. Report of the french society for vascular medicine. 2018 Update].

Unlabelled: The quality standards of the French Society of Vascular Medicine for the ultrasonographic assessment of vascular malformations are based on the two following requirements: (1) technical know-how: mastering the use of ultrasound devices and the method of examination; (2) medical know-how: ability to adapt the methods and scope of the examination to its clinical indication and purpose, and to rationally analyze and interpret its results.

Aims Of The Quality Standards: To describe an optimal method of examination in relation to the clinical question and hypothesis. To homogenize practice, methods, glossary, and reporting.

An Auto-Adjustable Night Garment to Control Early Rebound Effect of Edema Volume After Intensive Phase of Decongestive Lymphedema Therapy.

Background: Lymphedema of the arm and/or hand is a well-established complication of breast cancer therapy. The objective of the study was to determine the interest of auto-adjustable MOBIDERM Autofit night arm sleeve in controlling edema rebound effect in breast cancer-related lymphedema patients just after a successful intensive phase of decongestive lymphedema therapy (DLT).

Materials And Methods: This is a subgroup analysis of MARILYN Study, conducted on 40 patients after completion of intensive DLT.

Medical know-how: ability to adapt the methods and scope of the examination to its clinical indication and purpose, and to rationally analyze and interpret its results. AIMS OF THE QUALITY STANDARDS: To describe an optimal method of examination in relation to the clinical question and hypothesis.

[Genetics of lymphedema: from Milroy's disease to cancer investigations].

New insight has recently been obtained into the molecular mechanisms regulating lymphatic development and function during embryogenesis. VEGF-C and D ligands have been shown to stimulate lymphangiogenesis and their lymphatic-specific receptor VEGFR-3 is linked to the human congenital and hereditary lymphedema in humans. Above all, new focus on lymphatic endothelial cells gives opportunities for developing innovative therapies for lymphedema and cancer metastasis.

[Diagnosis by Doppler color echography of dural carotid-cavernous fistula of ophthalmological manifestation].

The case reported here, concerns a spontaneous low-flow fistula between the external carotid arterial network and the cavernous sinus, with ophthalmological symptoms (exophthalmos, red eye) in an old woman with cardiac failure. The shunt was diagnosed by color-Doppler-imaging, which showed a flow reversal with a systolic component in the superior and inferior enlarged ophthalmic veins. This finding led the authors to extend the arterial filling sequence since the shunt was not detectable on standard arterial views.
