    CASE REPORT Peripheral Venous Malformations with a Dominant Outflow Vein: Results of Ethanol Embolization Hadi Rokni-Yazdi1, Mahsa Ghajarzadeh2, Amir Hossein Keyvan3, Mohammad Javad Namavar3, and Sepehr Azizi3 1 Advanced Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology Research Center (ADIR), Imaging Medical Center, Imam Hospital, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran 2 Brain and Spinal Injury Repair Research Center, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran 3 Department of Infectious Diseases, Imam Hospital, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran Received: 11 Nov. 2013; Accepted: 29 Mar. 2014 Abstract- Venous malformations are the most common form of symptomatic vascular malformations. VM s could classify into low-flow lesions (VMs) and high-flow lesions (AVMs). For low-flow venous lesions, direct percutaneous puncture with injection of sclerosing agents (sclerotherapy) has been described as a successful therapy. In this article, we want to introduce a patient who treated with ethanol sclerotherapy for VM located in the right flank. The patients were a 35-year-old man with right flank mass, skin discoloration and hemorrhagic foci. Color Doppler ultrasonography showed low flow vascular malformation while Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) showed that the mass contained fat tissue with branching tubular signal void structures inside. The draining vein was first coiled via tortuous venous malformation vessels access and then VM was embolized.Under ultrasonographic guide, direct puncture of one branches of venous malformation was performed, and contrast media were injected. The patient underwent the sclerotherapy every month for four consecutive months. The patient was followed up for a year, and clinical examination revealed 40-50% size reduction of the lesion while no bleeding was detected from the lesion during the follow-up period.

  • Spider Vein Treatments About Sclerotherapy
    Spider Vein Treatments Talk to any woman with spider veins on her legs, and she’ll probably tell you that they’re the bane of her existence. And if you’re one of the women who has them, you’re not alone: Close to 55 percent of women have some type of vein problem, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Office on Women's Health. A combination treatment of sclerotherapy and laser usually does best for those small yet unsightly clusters of blue, red, or purple veins. Sclerotherapy is a simple procedure, where veins are injected with a sclerosing solution, which causes the veins to collapse and fade from view. Our vascular laser (Nd:YAG) is ideal for vessels around the ankles or capillaries that are too small to treat with sclerotherapy. *Pricing dependent upon density and quantity of vessels, with pricing typically starting around $250 per session. About Sclerotherapy What is sclerotherapy? Sclerotherapy is a minimally invasive procedure done by your healthcare provider to treat uncomplicated spider veins and uncomplicated reticular veins. The treatment involves the injection of a solution into the affected veins. What are varicose veins? Varicose veins are large blue, dark purple veins. They protrude from the skin and many times they have a cord-like appearance and may twist or bulge. Varicose veins are found most frequently on the legs. What are spider veins? Spider veins are very small and very fine red or blue veins. They are closer to the surface of the skin than varicose veins. They can look like a thin red line, tree branches or spider webs.

    SURGICAL MANAGEMENT OF ORAL SUBMUCOUS Review Article FIBROSIS: Case Report and Review Article Dr. Nitu Shah*, Dr. Naman Pandya**, Dr. Devanshi Vaghela***, Dr. Neha Vyas**** ABSTRACT Objective: To assess the outcome of different surgical treatment modalities of Oral Submucous Fibrosis. Background: Oral Submucous Fibrosis (OSF) is a persistent, progressive, pre-cancerous condition of the oral mucosa, which is mainly related with betel quid chewing habit. OSF is strongly connected with the risk of oral cancer. Since decades, many treatment modalities are suggested and studied like medicinal treatment, intralesional injection and physiotherapy or surgical treatments with varying degrees of benefit. But complete eradication of disease is challenging. The present article shows the outcome of various surgical treatment modalities in the management of this condition. Method: In this article a total of 4 patients who were clinically and histologically diagnosed as Oral Submucous Fibrosis, grouped according to classification system for the surgical management of OSF proposed by Khanna JN and Andrade NN. Out of 4 patients 1 patient undergone fibrectomy with collagen membrane placement, 1 patient undergone fibrectomy with buccal fat pad placement ,in 1 case fibrectomy was done with Laser , in advanced cases coronoidectomy was done. Conclusion : In oral submucous fibrosis Fibrectomy followed by grafting is a one of the suggested treatment for prevention of the recurrence of the condition but advanced procedure like coronoidectomy gives better results

Atherosclerotic Plaque formation in the sub-intimal layer is the main pathophysiology which causes ischemia in cardiac muscle & gives symptoms of coronary artery disease (CAD). There are many ways for revascularization but CABG is the mostly performed procedure & still gold standard.

Left internal mammary artery is the most durable conduits & should be used for every patients unless contraindicated. In young non-diabetic patient as much possible arterial conduits should be used. In planned operations results are excellent with inhospital mortality <1% with few morbidities like sternal wound infection <3%, renal and neurological complications <7% & <3%.
