Ethanol sclerotherapy of venous malformations: evaluation of systemic ethanol contamination
FD Hammer, LM Boon, P Mathurin… - Journal of Vascular and …, 2001 - Elsevier
PURPOSE: To evaluate blood ethanol concentrations immediately after percutaneous
ethanol sclerotherapy of venous malformations (VMs). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty
consecutive sclerotherapy procedures were performed for VMs in various anatomic sites. In
a prospective study, the blood parameters monitored were ethanol plasma level
(immediately after the procedure), plasma haptoglobin (Hp; before and after the procedure),
and standard blood analysis including urea, creatinine, bilirubin, and lactic dehydrogenase …
