Vascular Anomalies Program

 

The Cleveland Clinic Vascular Anomalies Program has been established as a multidisciplinary organization aimed to become a leading tertiary center for patients with vascular anomalies. This unique program understands the frustration that thousands of patients and their families have experienced with the limited availability of dedicated medical centers that specifically deal with vascular anomalies. The Cleveland Clinic Vascular Anomalies Program hopes to significantly contribute to scientific literature and increase the body of knowledge in this rapidly growing field through continuous efforts to explore more effective means of diagnostic tools and alternative treatment options along with ongoing research activities.

The treatment of vascular anomalies ranges from minimally invasive interventional procedure to extensive surgical procedures. Diagnosis of vascular anomalies can be extremely difficult; therefore, a dedicated multidisciplinary team effort is necessary not only to make an accurate diagnosis of vascular anomalies, but also to improve the diagnostic ability of the current imaging modalities and any available treatment alternatives. The CCF Vascular Anomalies Program has regular case-discussion meetings regarding our referral patients, as well as to discuss ongoing matters related to vascular anomalies. Dr. Orhan Konez, Director of the Vascular Anomalies Program, is dedicated to vascular anomalies and their treatment using various interventional techniques.

The program is interested in establishing a convenient referral path (e-mail) for self referral patients and practicing physicians for our case discussion group, so that more uniform and modern diagnostic imaging techniques can be applied appropriately to all cases resulting in minimized misdiagnosis and inadequate treatment.
