Abstract
Vascular anomalies consist of a wide range of diagnoses relating to abnormal vasculature. These lesions can affect a variety of anatomical structures, requiring the expertise of numerous specialists. Over the past few decades, the formation of multidisciplinary vascular anomalies clinics has allowed patients to meet multiple providers within the same clinic visit, leading to improved communication between patients and providers. Furthermore, diagnostic and treatment plans are discussed in multidisciplinary conferences allowing for enhanced diagnostic accuracy and more comprehensive management plans. The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of the multidisciplinary management of vascular anomalies, including descriptions of key team members, multidisciplinary clinics, and benefits and challenges of providing multidisciplinary care.
