Cryosurgery for Vascular Lesions
摘要
Vascular lesions are very sensitive to low temperatures. Small vessels are ideal for cryosurgical treatment; large vessels raise the local temperature and tend to recanalize after treatment. Different types of vascular tumors can be treated with cryosurgery: infantile hemangiomas, hypertrophic vascular malformations, angiokeratomas, cherry angiomas, and pyogenic granulomas, among others. An overview of the different options is shown in this chapter.
