Arterial and venous vascular malformations due to congenital abnormalities rarely occur in the daily practice of vascular surgeons. These malformations represent a heteroge neous group of isolated or multiple congenital abnormalities, sometimes associated with complex congenital syndromes. Correct recognition and classification of these rare abnor malities may sometimes be difficult. No systematic classification of arterial and/or venous vascular malformations due to congenital abnormalities is currently available. On the basis of embryologic and pathophysiologic considerations, a rational and simple classifi cation of arterial and venous vascular malformations due to congenital abnormalities can be performed.
This contribution presents an appropiate classification of clinically important arterial and venous vascular malformations due to congenital abnormalities.
