Regimens and Response Assessment in Minimally Invasive Image-Guided Therapies for Vascular Malformations: Insights from a Large Cohort Study at a Tertiary-Care Hospital.

ABSTRACT: This retrospective study was aimed at characterizing vascular malformations (VMFs) presenting for minimally invasive image-guided therapies (MIT) at a tertiary-care center and evaluating treatment regimens and image-based outcomes using MRI. We analyzed demographic, disease-related, and radiologic features of VMFs presenting to interventional radiology between May 2008 and August 2020 using compendium vascular anomaly (Compva) criteria. MIT and specific agents were evaluated, and treatment effects were assessed through volumetry and mean signal intensity (MSI) on multiparametric longitudinal MRI. The statistics included the paired t-test, ANOVA, and Fisher's exact test. The cohort included 217 patients (mean age 30 ± 18.4 years; 134 female). Venous malformations were most common (47
