Division of Pediatric Hematology-Oncology, University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, Arkansas Children's Hospital, Little Rock, Arkansas, USA.
Article Synopsis
- A lecture titled "Anticoagulation and Vascular Anomalies" was held at the ISTH Congress in 2023, discussing the management of vascular anomalies which are categorized as tumors or malformations.
- Some vascular tumors and malformations may lead to coagulation issues, but anticoagulation is generally not the standard treatment for these conditions, except for specific cases.
- Slow-flow vascular malformations carry a higher risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE), and in these cases, anticoagulation may be necessary to mitigate risks and manage symptoms, with new data on these subjects presented at the conference.

Article Synopsis
- Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma (KHE) and tufted angioma (TA) are rare vascular tumors in children, and this study aimed to identify effective first-line therapies due to the lack of clinical trials.
- The study included 159 patients, revealing high treatment response rates (>70%) to both sirolimus and vincristine, with no significant differences in effectiveness over time.
- The findings suggest personalized treatment approaches are essential, as both medications showed similar outcomes, and the low mortality rate (1.3%) indicates improved management of these tumors.
