A vascular malformation in Ecuador is a congenital anomaly (present from birth) that affects the development of blood or lymphatic vessels. Unlike vascular tumors, these do not disappear over time; on the contrary, they tend to grow as the patient develops, potentially causing pain, disfigurement, or functional problems.
Dr. Juan Carlos Peralvo has the necessary clinical experience to differentiate and treat these complex cases, always prioritizing the patient’s quality of life.
Types of Vascular Malformations
It is fundamental to understand that not all malformations are the same. An expert in vascular malformation in Ecuador classifies them based on blood flow:
Low-Flow Malformations
- Capillary: Commonly known as “port-wine stains.”
- Venous: Dilated, bluish veins that can cause pain and localized clots.
- Lymphatic: Cysts that accumulate lymphatic fluid and often cause swelling.
High-Flow Malformations
- Arteriovenous (AVM): Dangerous direct connections between arteries and veins that require specialized intervention to prevent hemorrhages.
Personalized and Cutting-Edge Treatments
The approach to vascular malformation in Ecuador has shifted from aggressive surgeries to minimally invasive techniques. Depending on the case, Dr. Peralvo offers in his services section:
- Percutaneous Sclerotherapy: Injection of chemical agents to close abnormal vessels.
- Endovascular Embolization: Blocking the vessels that feed the malformation using catheters.
- Reconstructive Surgery: In cases where it is necessary to remove excess tissue to improve function or aesthetics.
The Role of Technology in Diagnosis
For successful management of a vascular malformation in Ecuador, the use of MRI and color Doppler ultrasound is essential. These tools allow for precise mapping of the lesion’s extent. For detailed medical guidelines, you can consult sources like the Society for Vascular Surgery.
