Summary

Diseases with vascular malformations are rare and often congenital, affecting patients of all ages. Depending on their extent and localization, they can cause discomfort and, especially if activity is restricted, lead to loss or reduced quality of life. The therapy is usually reserved for a few specialized centers and includes interventional sclerotherapy as well as conservative therapy by compression with appropriate compression stockings. However, there are currently no study-based recommendations for this approach. The aim of this study is to prove a therapeutic effect of compression therapy using flat-knitted compression stockings on venous malformations of the extremities and to derive from this a therapy recommendation in connection with an improvement in the health status and quality of life. For this purpose, patients with a confirmed venous malformation of the upper or lower extremity independent of previous therapy will be included. We will investigate patients with epi- and/or subfascial localization of the venous malformation independent of the local extent (cross-articular or not).
