Venous malformations (VMs) are the most common type of vascular malformation. In resource-limited settings, treating these with minimally invasive and cost-effective approaches can achieve optimal outcomes. We present the case of a 7-year-old child with a large, slow-flow VM on the right anterior chest wall, successfully treated with ultrasound- and fluoroscopy-guided foam sclerotherapy using polidocanol via the ``contrast washout'' technique. The procedure resulted in significant lesion resolution with no post-procedural pain. In addition to its effectiveness, this approach also spares patients from extensive surgical interventions, making it a valuable treatment option for pediatric VMs.
静脉畸形(VMs)是最常见的血管畸形类型。在资源有限的环境中,采用微创且经济有效的方法治疗这些疾病可取得最佳效果。我们报告一例7岁儿童,其右前胸壁有一个大的、低流速的静脉畸形,通过“造影剂冲洗”技术,使用聚多卡醇在超声和透视引导下进行泡沫硬化治疗,成功治愈。该手术使病变明显消退,术后无疼痛。除了有效性外,这种方法还使患者无需进行广泛的手术干预,使其成为小儿静脉畸形的一种有价值的治疗选择。
