Abstract

To explore the therapeutic effect of electrochemical therapy(ECT) for high-flow vascular malformation in maxillofacial region. 38 patients with high-flow vascular malformation in maxillofacial region were treated with ECT. The voltage was 6-8 V, and the electric current was 80-100 mA. The electric quantity was 10-20 C/cm2. Among the 38 cases, 32 cases received only one treatment, 5 cases received two treatments and one case received three treatments. The patients were followed up for 2 months to 3 years. The total effective rate was 100% with 55.26% of cure rate and 44.74% of partial cure rate. No hemolysis happened during follow-up period. ECT is a simple and effective method for high-flow vascular malformation with less morbidity.
