Abstract

Intraosseous vascular malformations are rare vascular anomalies that present unique treatment challenges due to structural instability, embolization and sclerotherapy resistance, and tendency to recur. Patients may have clinical manifestations including pain, functional impairment, increased fracture risk, and decreased quality of life. Image-guided ablation techniques are emerging interventional treatment options for soft tissue tumors and complicated vascular anomalies. Percutaneous image-guided cryoablation offers a potential alternative as an isolated or adjunct therapy for intraosseous vascular malformations.
