Vascular Anomalies

Plastic surgeons at Brigham and Women’s Hospital provide advanced reconstructive techniques for patients with vascular anomalies.

A vascular malformation is a congenital anomaly of veins and arteries and lymph vessels. They are always present at birth but may become visible at different ages.

There are variations of vascular malformations:

• Only veins: venous malformations (VM)
• Only lymph vessels: lymphatic malformations (LM)
• Both veins and lymph vessels: venolymphatic malformations (VLM)

• Arteries connected directly to veins without any capillaries in between: arteriovenous malformations (AVM)
