Vascular malformations can be treated with sclerotherapy. During this procedure, the interventional radiologist injects the lesion with a medication that shrinks it.
Interventional radiology is an integral part of our multidisciplinary team of technicians, dermatologists, and pediatric surgeons. The doctors at Nicklaus Children’s Hospital are experts in addressing the needs of children and specialize in pain control and anxiety relief.
