BACKGROUND
Potassium-titanyl-phosphate (KTP) laser photocoagulation is commonly used for treatment of hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia-related epistaxis (HHT-RE). Electrosurgical plasma coagulation (EPC), also known as coblation, has not been rigorously evaluated for HHT-RE.
METHODS
Patients
Utilization of a 1-10 msec vascular laser to treat facial vessels to limit purpura has become available in recent years. Its efficacy and morbidity in the treatment of common vascular lesions require exploration. We have assessed the relative outcomes and morbidity from a single treatment session of
BACKGROUND
A variety of modalities are available for the control of recurrent epistaxis in hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT). Laser ablation, in particular potassium-titanyl-phosphate (KTP), has gained popularity as it coagulates the telangiectasia with minimal peripheral tissue injury.
Similarities exist between the progressive cerebellar ataxia in ataxia telangiectasia (AT) patients and a number of neurodegenerative diseases in both mouse and man involving specific mutations in ion channels and/or ion channel activity. These relationships led us to investigate the possibility of
BACKGROUND
The Nd:YAG laser has been considered the gold standard of treatment for leg veins, but pain and side effects have fueled physicians to use treatment alternatives.
OBJECTIVE
To compare the clinical efficacy of the long-pulsed 1064-nm Nd:YAG laser with KTP laser irradiation in the treatment
OBJECTIVE
Determine the effectiveness of treating epistaxis in hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) with potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP) laser cautery combined with submucosal injection of 100 mg of bevacizumab.
METHODS
Retrospective pilot study.
METHODS
Bevacizumab was injected throughout
OBJECTIVE
Assess for complications of intranasal Bevacizumab application in patients with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT)-associated epistaxis.
METHODS
Retrospective chart review.
METHODS
In 58 patients presenting with recurrent HHT epistaxis, Bevacizumab was applied intranasally either
OBJECTIVE
Intranasal Bevacizumab is an effective therapy for epistaxis in patients with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT).
METHODS
Retrospective chart review.
METHODS
In 32 successive patients presenting with recurrent HHT epistaxis 25-100 mg of Bevacizumab was applied intranasally either
OBJECTIVE
Superficial cutaneous vascular lesions (SCVLs) are quite common. Several types of lasers have been used to treat these lesions; however, there are no dedicated treatment guidelines and few studies in the literature addressed their treatment.
OBJECTIVE
In this paper, we aimed to report our
Osler-Weber-Rendu disease remains a challenging clinical management problem. We have found the potassium-titanyl-phosphate laser (KTP/532) for photocoagulation of intranasal telangiectases to be useful in controlling epistaxis refractory to traditional surgical therapy. We present the case of a
Laser therapies have been shown to provide symptom improvement in patients with erythema and telangiectasia of rosacea; however, they are associated with side effects such as erythema. Combinatorial treatment with pharmacological agents and laser have demonstrated better efficacy, fewer side effects
OBJECTIVE
Facial telangiectasias are a common cause of cosmetic concern. Current treatment modalities present various untoward effects and limits. The pulsed dye laser has been considered the gold standard in efficacy and safety; unfortunately it causes postoperative intracutaneous hematomata,
Thick linear telangiectasia on the ala nasi and nasolabial crease can be resistant to treatment with the potassium-titanyl-phosphate (KTP) laser and the traditional round spot on a pulsed dye laser (PDL). We evaluated the efficacy of a 3 mm x 10 mm elliptical spot using the ultra-long pulse width on
OBJECTIVE
Pulsed 595 nm and 532 nm lasers can effectively diminish or eliminate facial telangiectasia. We performed a split-face, single-blind, controlled, comparison study in an effort to determine their individual and comparative efficacy.
METHODS
Fifteen patients were treated using a 595-nm PDL
Objective: To evaluated the efficacy and safety of in-office potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP) laser treatment for the management of epistaxis in hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) patients.
