Vascular malformations are anomalies of vessels that can cause a variety of potentially serious health problems depending on their type, location, and size. They may involve arterial, venous or lymphatic vessels. They’re often progressive and may enlarge over time. They’re best diagnosed with one or more imaging studies and the treatment depends on the type of vascular malformation. Management usually requires a multi-disciplinary approach in order to be most effective. What are the most common types of vascular malformations? What organs are typically involved? What are some of the more serious medical complications they may cause and how should we manage them? The topic for this podcast is “Vascular Malformations” and these are questions I’ll be asking my guests, Haraldur Bjarnason, M.D., an interventional and vascular radiologist and Megha M. Tollefson, M.D., a dermatologist, both from the Mayo Clinic.
