Vascular Malformations in the Torso & Limbs

Vascular malformations are a group of blood vessel disorders that are usually present at birth. Some are harmless, though visible on the skin. Other more serious malformations involve clusters or tangles of veins and arteries inside the body. Some may require treatment to prevent painful nerve or organ compression or, less commonly, internal bleeding.

Our treatment team may include vascular surgeons; interventional radiologists; plastic surgeons; dermatologists; hematologists, who specialize in diseases of the blood; otolaryngologists, doctors who manage ear, nose and throat and problems; and pediatricians.
