A new technique injects alcohol directly into venous malformations (VM) during digital subtraction angiography (DSA). This method avoids pre-mixing, visualizing the alcohol in real-time for effective sclerotherapy.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Interventional Radiology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Venous malformations (VMs) are common vascular anomalies.
  • Sclerotherapy using alcohol is a common treatment for VMs.
  • Traditional alcohol sclerotherapy requires pre-mixing with contrast agents for visualization.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a novel technique for alcohol injection in VMs.
  • To eliminate the need for pre-mixing alcohol with contrast agents.
  • To enable real-time visualization of alcohol during VM treatment.

Main Methods:

  • Injection of alcohol directly into VMs under slow digital subtraction angiography (DSA).
  • Real-time visualization of injected alcohol without pre-mixing.
  • Utilizing DSA for precise delivery and monitoring.

Main Results:

  • Successful visualization of alcohol during injection.
  • Preservation of high alcohol concentration and sclerosing potency.
  • Elimination of the requirement for pre-mixed contrast agents.

Conclusions:

  • The described technique offers an effective alternative for alcohol sclerotherapy of VMs.
  • This method enhances procedural safety and efficiency.
  • It is particularly useful when contrast agents like Metrizamide are unavailable or contraindicated.
