Interventional Radiology Services for Vascular Anomalies: An Update

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Evidence-Based Management of Head and Neck Vascular Anomalies

Abstract

Interventional radiology procedures for the treatment of vascular anomalies have evolved over the last several years. Specifically, newer procedural imaging techniques and embolization materials have expanded the range of options for minimally invasive treatment. For example, preoperative embolization of venous malformations with n-BCA glue to aid in surgical resection has emerged as an effective alternative to traditional percutaneous sclerotherapy (Tieu et al, Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg 48:678–684, 2013). Imaging techniques have also evolved, for example, with the use of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) adjunctively with angiography. This chapter will discuss these recent advances in interventional radiology for the treatment of vascular anomalies.
