A treatment protocol for vascular occlusion from particulate soft tissue augmentation.
Treatment protocols exist for vascular obstruction due to injections with hyaluronic acids. Options for vascular insult due to non-hyaluronic acid products are less defined. The authors report two cases of vascular insult due to calcium hydroxylapatite and discuss treatment options. Patients who have vascular occlusion due to calcium hydroxylapatite require immediate intervention. The authors' suggested protocol is elucidated and presented as a basis for future discussions and clinical trials.
