conclusions sclerotherapy for symptomatic relief of chyluria during pregnancy showed high response rate (86.2%) in short term follow-up. sclerotherapy with 10% povidone iodine and 25% dextrose combination have been proved safe and effective during pregnancy. medical termination of pregnancy and cesarean section (those near term) may be the options in resistant cases not responding to sclerother...

OBJECTIVES This study aims to compare the efficacy and side effects of foam sclerotherapy of the saphenous veins with or without post-treatment compression using graduated elastic stockings. DESIGN This is a prospective open randomised controlled trial conducted in two centres. PATIENTS AND METHODS Sixty patients with incompetent great (GSV) or small saphenous veins (SSV) underwent ultrasou...

The purpose of this study is to retrospectively evaluate the clinical outcomes and to identify the predictors ofpatient satisfaction after percutaneous sclerotherapy for venous malformations (VMs) in the extremities. A totalof 48 patients with VMs in the extremities over 10 years of age underwent sclerotherapy to relieve symptoms, such as pain, swelling, functional limitations, and cosmetic pro...

BACKGROUND Sclerotherapy with polidocanol microfoam injection under duplex guidance is a new treatment for venous malformations associated with Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome. Multidetector-row computed tomography (MDCT) venography is extremely helpful in the assessment of disease extension and the planning of therapy. Observation In this particular case, MDCT venography demonstrated the origin, co...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of our study was to examine the coagulation status in patients with vascular anomalies who had undergone sclerotherapy or embolization. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Ours was a prospective pilot study of 29 patients who had undergone sclerotherapy or embolization of large vascular anomalies. Fibrinogen, platelet, and d-dimer levels and prothrombin time were obtained before, immed...

BACKGROUND Sclerotherapy is a common and effective treatment for venous diseases, including venous malformations (VMs), which are common vascular anomalies in the oral and maxillofacial regions. However, the safety of sclerotherapy has not been fully elucidated. Occasionally, patients who underwent sclerotherapy may present diverse but minor side effects such as erythema, swelling, pain, tender...

To the Editor: Chronic venous insufficiency is a common disease in adulthood. One recently developed therapy for varicose veins is foam sclerotherapy.1 We used foam sclerotherapy in a 51-year-old man and a 33-year-old woman who had symptomatic varicose great saphenous veins and were otherwise healthy. Immediately after the initiation of treatment, transient scotomas developed in the man, and a ...

Chylothorax is an unusual complication of sclerotherapy for oesophageal varices. A patient is described in whom a massive chylous effusion followed sclerotherapy with repeated injections of 1.5% sodium tetradecyl sulphate. The thoracic duct traverses the posterior mediastinum in close proximity to the oesophagus, and may be disrupted by injections at mid oesophageal level.

Introduction . Bleomycin is a cytotoxic antibiotic that used as sclerosing agent for sclerotherapy of vascular anomalies. characterized by complications: nausea, vomiting, fever, the development allergies/anaphylaxis, skin discoloration (hyperpigmentation), damage to lung tissue. Aim To study frequency hyperpigmentation after administration bleomycin malformations with slow flow characteristics...
