Ultrasonography-Guided Intra-Arterial Hyaluronidase Treatment of Vascular Occlusions.

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to introduce a recommendation for an adjunct approach to the current treatment protocol for vascular occlusion (VO). Current guidelines for treatment of VO do not incorporate the use of ultrasonographic technology. Using bedside ultrasonography has gained recognition as an effective way to map out the vessels of the face to prevent VO. Ultrasonography has also been found to be helpful for treating VO as well as other hyaluronic acid filler-related complications.
