[Role of visual control during percutaneous sclerosing therapy for soft tissue arteriovenous dysplasias]

Based on the current concept of the obvious prevalence of surgical treatment of vascular angiodysplasias over low-invasive methods of interventional radiology, the author assesses the capacities of sclerotic therapy performed by the improved visual controlling procedure. By using the well-known semiotics of ultrasound studies of angiodysplasias, the author has made significant methodological amendments to the techniques of sclerotic therapy. The principle of the proposed procedure is a result of complex use of the potentialities of ultrasound visualization and interventional X-ray contrast studies of the vascular system. The procedure was successfully used in 9 patients. It is concluded that that the study of soft tissue angiodysplasias via direct puncture performed under ultrasound guidance, followed by mass contrasting and sclerotic therapy.
