Sclerotherapy for Vascular or Lymphatic Malformation

Definition

Sclerotherapy for vascular or lymphatic malformation is a minimally invasive medical treatment that involves the injection of a sclerosing agent into the affected blood vessels or lymphatic channels. This agent causes the walls of the vessels or channels to collapse and stick together, eventually leading to their shrinkage and disappearance, thereby reducing the symptoms associated with the malformation.
