This study outlines expert consensus pathways for diagnosing and managing venous malformations (VMs). These guidelines aim to improve patient care by standardizing diagnostic and treatment approaches across multidisciplinary centers.
Area of Science:
- Vascular Medicine
- Medical Diagnostics
- Patient Management
Background:
- Venous malformations (VMs) require standardized diagnostic and management protocols.
- Expert consensus is crucial for developing effective patient pathways.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop expert consensus patient pathways for the diagnosis and management of venous malformations.
- To guide physicians and patients toward efficient diagnostic and treatment strategies.
Main Methods:
- Utilized the Nominal Group Technique within the VASCERN-VASCA network.
- Involved two facilitators and extensive discussions in virtual and face-to-face meetings.
- Incorporated clinical expertise from a dermatologist and a network of 9 Expert Centers.
Main Results:
- Developed a comprehensive pathway for venous malformation diagnosis and management.
- Classified VMs into 4 subtypes: sporadic single, multifocal, familial multifocal, and combined/syndromic.
- Detailed management strategies including clinical evaluations, investigations, treatments, and genetic associations for each subtype.
Conclusions:
- A consensus-driven Diagnostic and Management Pathway for VMs has been established through collaborative efforts.
- Emphasizes the critical role of multidisciplinary expert centers in managing VM patients.
- The pathway will be accessible via the VASCERN website to aid clinicians and patients.
