Abstract Vascular anomalies are divided into tumors and malformations, a division that is described as the binary or biological classification, which represents the cornerstone of modern therapy. However, it still represents a blind spot in the world surgical practice, the vascular anomalies field remaining unexplored for decades. This was the motive behind making this review, which represents a spotlight on new trends in the treatment of vascular anomalies. Disciplinary rather than technical, this review has emphasized the importance of multidisciplinary practice treating vascular anomalies, amid which diagnostic and interventional radiology now play the key role, representing the least invasive option. Besides, given the task of creating harmony from diversity, an updated review and panoramic overview figure has been given to the design of this work, the details being much beyond the scope of a work of this kind. In other words, we have tried to make an introduction to vascular anomalies, outlining the basic biological behavior and the essential therapeutic principles, which are the same in all organ systems, whatever the clinical manifestations are. This is expected to be an invaluable update for the nonprofessional and a helpful brainstorming for the beginning surgical or interventional resident, who wishes to get inclined in the field of vascular anomalies. A standard management and follow up protocol, based on review of practice of centers of excellence in the field of vascular anomalies, makes the conclusion of our work |
