Practical Genetic and Biologic Therapeutic Considerations in Vascular Anomalies
Vascular anomalies are classified as either tumors or malformations based on clinical findings rendered through radiologic evaluation, physical exam, and histologic interpretation. These findings comprise the phenotype of the disorder. Recently, advances in the molecular genetics of vascular anomalies have shed light on the genotype of these disorders. These phenotype/genotype characterizations will provide a more precise classification of vascular anomalies and identify potential therapeutic targets for expanded treatment options in the future.

Interventional Management of Arteriovenous Malformations
Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are fast flow malformations characterized by the presence of arteriovenous shunting. These congenital lesions can be evolutive, leading to serious complications such as bleeding, skin ulceration, and cardiac failure. The interventional radiologist plays an important role in the management of these patients. He should be involved in the clinical evaluation to make the proper diagnosis, evaluate the symptoms and potential indication for endovascular treatment. This evaluation should be done in a multidisciplinary clinic with access to plastic surgeons, internal medicine and dermatologist, a...

Klippel-Trenaunay Syndrome
Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome or KTS is a complex vascular syndrome associated with overgrowth occurring as a result of somatic mutations in the PIK3CA gene. Patients are diagnosed on the basis of physical findings, sometimes with supportive imaging, of commonly a segmental anomaly with a cutaneous port-wine stain, lymphatic and venous malformations and overgrowth. The severity of the component vascular malformations and the degree of overgrowth varies from patient to patient which demands care given by a multi-professional team with regular follow-up in a specialist clinic.

Sclerotherapy with Adjunctive Stasis of Efflux (STASE) in Venous Malformations: Techniques and Strategies
Venous malformations are very commonly encountered in interventional radiologic practice. Indications for therapy are clearly defined based on the lesion's impact on patient's quality of life. Screening laboratory coagulation studies in patients with historical or lesion morphologic risk factors often reveal abnormal coagulation parameters consistent with localized intravascular coagulation or more severe coagulopathic states. These may require chronic or periprocedural medical management to avoid potentially life-threatening disseminated intravascular coagulation or other thromboembolic phenomena.

Common (Cystic) Lymphatic Malformations: Current Knowledge and Management
The approach to treating common (cystic) lymphatic malformations (LMs) has evolved significantly over the last decade due to clinical research and recent developments in molecular biology. Surgery, sclerosing agents, and medical drugs with specific targets for biological therapy have been reported for the management of LMs. We will discuss the importance to standardize the location and imaging characterization of LMs to improve the knowledge about the outcome of the different therapeutic options.

Introduction
Vascular anomalies in some form or another are encountered frequently in day-to-day practice by diagnostic and interventional radiologists alike. In fact, depending on definition, they are now known to occur in at least 1-2% of the entire population. Within the younger pediatric population, the diagnosis of a vascular anomaly will usually mandate some series of medical consultations and possible intervention. A larger number of patients, however, will seek medical attention in adolescence or adulthood, either when lesions become symptomatic, or when incidentally detected by some other study.

Surgical Considerations in Vascular Malformations
Vascular malformations are generally congenital benign lesions that have multiple variations in treatment algorithms. Surgery can be used as a single modality or as an adjunct in multimodal therapy to treat these lesions. Here we discuss surgical treatment of the major vascular malformations, including lymphatic, venous, and arteriovenous malformations. We explain some of the basic principles to resection of simple and complex lesions and adjunctive therapies. These adjunct therapies include chemotherapeutic injections, embolization, and laser therapy. (Source: Techniques in Vascular and Interventional Radiology)

Brief Description of ISSVA Classification for Radiologists
This article introduces the 2018 International Society for the Study of Vascular Anomalies (ISSVA) classification, emphasizing the biologic basis of vascular anomalies, summarizing the key features of commonly encountered entities, and serving as a foundation for subsequent articles presented herein. Vascular tumors are discussed to highlight their distinction from vascular malformations which will receive greater attention with respect to management and technical considerations within the issue.

Complex Lymphatic Anomalies and Therapeutic Options
Complex lymphatic anomalies include a variety of disorders with overlapping clinical, histological and imaging features. The often-confusing nomenclature used for lymphatic anomalies limits timely diagnosis and treatment. The updated 2018 classification of the International Society for the Study of Vascular Anomalies divides lymphatic anomalies into several subsets.1 Newer imaging techniques including intranodal and magnetic resonance lymphangiography have improved our understanding of anatomy and function of the lymphatic system.

Beyond the Bile Duct: Advanced IR Endoscopic Interventions Involving the Gastrointestinal, Genitourinary, and Musculoskeletal Systems
Endoscopy is a technique used by interventional radiology (IR) in only a few centers throughout the United States. When used by IR, endoscopy is most well-known for its role in the treatment of hepatobiliary disease. However, its use with relation to pathology involving the gastrointestinal, genitourinary, and musculoskeletal systems is gaining momentum among IR. The purpose of this article is to demonstrate the potential benefits of IR endoscopy in nonbiliary intervention. A literature review, not requiring IRB approval, was performed via PubMed and Ovid Medline databases using the search terms “interventional radiology...
