“…There is no literature on the TriVex TM system being used for the management of vascular lesions other than varicose veins. 7 Given the similarities, it was deemed reasonable that TriVex TM system would also be suitable for removing vascular anomalies.…”

“…Having active blood flow in the vessels leads to increased bruising and haematoma formation, which is common with the conventional TriVex TM method. 7,8 In order to overcome this, we used ultrasound guidance to visualise the vessels for debulking. Once embolised, the lesions were removed via ultrasound-guided-powered phlebectomy.…”

Background Large vascular anomalies on the trunk or limbs are rare and prove challenging to treat. Currently, treatment options include conservative management, embolisation, sclerotherapy or surgical excision. Once the lesion has been embolised, or if it spontaneously involutes, the residual fibrofatty tissue may be painful and require debulking. Surgical debulking may be associated with complicated wound healing, infection, scarring and may not be not feasible for large lesions. Method We present our technique of using TriVex™-powered phlebectomy to debulk vascular anomalies. Our modification involved performing sclero-emobolisation on the target lesion first to mitigate the risk of haematoma formation. We also used ultrasound guidance to increase the precision and eliminate the use of TriVex™ illuminator. Results Excellent symptom relief and cosmetic outcome were achieved in three patients treated using this method. Conclusion We believe the novel technique of ultrasound-guided TriVex™-powered system provides a viable alternative to surgical debulking of large or complex vascular anomalies.

Removal of Benign Superficial Masses Using the TriVex System: Preliminary Clinical Results

Abstract: The TriVex procedure for the removal of benign superficial masses is simple, safe, and effective with advantages of short operation time, small incisions, and good cosmetic outcome, which is predicted as a new minimally invasive surgery of superficial masses.
