title: Interventional management of vascular malformations.
abstract: Vascular malformations are either of slow-flow type, including capillary, venous, and lymphatic lesions, or fast-flow, such as arteriovenous malformations. These anomalies are fundamentally congenital-though some may present later in life-, grow with the patient, and, with rare exceptions, do not disappear spontaneously. This article briefly discusses the diagnosis and interventional management of vascular malformations.
