Vascular Malformations

Several types of blood vessels carry blood, oxygen, and nutrients throughout the body. Blood vessels include arteries, veins, and capillaries. If you have a problem with your blood vessels, Mount Sinai Interventional Radiology can help. We have special expertise in these types of blood vessel problems:

Vascular Anomalies and Vascular Malformations. We are part of the Vascular Anomalies Program at The Mount Sinai Hospital. This clinic sees children and adults with a variety of congenital vascular conditions including:

• Infantile hemangiomas are “strawberry” birthmarks visible at birth.
• Venous malformations happen when veins have stretched or enlarged and are painful.
• Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are abnormal tangles of blood vessels that keep blood from moving smoothly from place to place.
