Comprehensive Vascular Anomalies Program
Vascular anomalies occur when arteries, capillaries, veins, or lymphatic vessels fail to develop correctly. They range from mild to very complex. Complex cases can be debilitating to patients by disrupting blood and lymph flow, exerting physical pressure on nearby structures, and affecting normal metabolic processes.
Our research program focuses on recent findings that specific genetic mutations cause some vascular anomalies, and that patients with these kinds of vascular anomalies respond well to new medical therapies which are being tested in current clinical trials.
We strive for a future where countless more patients will benefit from the game-changing precision medicine approach—personalized treatment based on each patient's genetic makeup. Our team conducts clinical trials to help find promising treatments that will receive U.S. Food and Drug Administration's approval.
Our program established an integrated clinical and research team to build a leading national center to provide true multidisciplinary care for complex vascular. In parallel, the program works with the Center for Applied Genomics to identify the underlying genetic mutations that cause complex cases.
