“…Many VMs cause chronic painful swelling, obstruction of vital structures, and bleeding (3,4). Localized intravascular coagulopathy (LIC) occurs in one-half of patients with large and/ or multifocal VMs; D-dimer level is increased and, in severe cases, fibrinogen level is low (4)(5)(6)(7). Pulmonary embolism can occur in VMs with large draining veins (8).…”

“…Diagnosis of VM is performed through clinical evaluation, Doppler ultrasonography, and MRI. Among vascular anomalies, LIC is specific to VMs and elevated D-dimer level is a useful biomarker for differential diagnosis and evaluation of treatment efficacy (4)(5)(6). Sclerotherapy is the primary treatment, alone or in combination with surgical resection (3,4).…”

“…4 Therefore, measurement of D-dimer levels is mandatory in the management of VMs. 13 Venous malformation is not the only disease that can increase D-dimer levels highly and persistently in otherwise healthy patients, other conditions like glomerulonephritis, chronic rejection of renal allograft, and normal pregnancy may also lead to chronic LIC. …”

“…Analíticamente el fibrinógeno suele estar bajo (menor de 0,1 g/l) y el díme-ro-D elevado 26,27 . En un estudio reciente de 280 pacientes con malformaciones vasculares, 195 de ellos (69,6%) tenían malformaciones venosas, mientras que 85 pacientes presentaban otro tipo de lesiones 28 . En el primer grupo, en 83 pacientes la detección plasmática de dímero-D fue muy alta, mientras que en el grupo de las no venosas, sólo en 3 pacientes el dímero-D estaba elevado.…”

“…En un trabajo reciente Dompmartin y cols. reportan resultados satisfactorios disminuyendo el dolor en 22 pacientes con malformaciones venosas extensas y niveles elevados de dímero-D a los que se les administró heparina de bajo peso molecular (enoxaparina 100 anti-Xa U/kd/día durante 20 días) 28 . El fármaco también reduce la hemorragia espontánea y las complicaciones hemorrá-gicas derivadas de una intervención quirúr-gica, aunque a priori parezca contradictorio que un anticoagulante pueda ser útil para prevenir una tendencia hemorrágica.…”
