D-dimer level correlation with treatment response in children with venous malformations

Localized intravascular coagulopathy is present in children with venous malformations (VMs) as evidenced by elevated D-dimer levels. Few studies have looked into the changes in D-dimer after sclerotherapy and its correlation with treatment outcome and complications. Our study aims to investigate cha...

Zusammenfassung:	Localized intravascular coagulopathy is present in children with venous malformations (VMs) as evidenced by elevated D-dimer levels. Few studies have looked into the changes in D-dimer after sclerotherapy and its correlation with treatment outcome and complications. Our study aims to investigate changes in D-dimer in children with VMs undergoing alcohol sclerotherapy. A prospective cohort study from 2014 to 2016, which included children (
