description <h4>Objective</h4>To evaluate the effect and safety of sclerotherapy in patients with difficult-to-resect venous malformations treated with ethanolamine oleate.<h4>Design and setting</h4>This investigator-initiated clinical trial employed a multicenter, single-arm design and was conducted in Japan.<h4>Patients</h4>Overall, 44 patients with difficult-to-resect venous malformations were categorized into two cohorts: 22 patients with cystic-type malformations and 22 patients with diffuse-type malformations, including children (<15 years old).<h4>Interventions</h4>Adult patients received injections of 5% ethanolamine oleate solution, double diluted with contrast or normal saline, with a maximum dose of 0.4 mL/kg. The same method of administration was used for children (<15 years old). The maximum volume of the prepared solution in one treatment was 30 mL.<h4>Evaluation methods</h4>Treatment effect was assessed by evaluating the difference in lesion volume using magnetic resonance imaging as a primary endpoint and differences in pain using a visual analog scale as a key secondary endpoint.<h4>Results</h4>Among the 45 patients who consented, one was excluded owing to potential intracranial involvement of venous malformations during screening. Regarding the primary outcome, 26 of 44 patients (59.1%, 95% confidence interval: 44.41-72.31%) achieved ≥ 20% reduction in malformation volume, with 16 patients having cystic lesions (72.7%, 51.85-86.85%) and 10 patients having diffuse lesions (45.5%, 26.92-65.34%). Both cohorts showed significant improvement in self-reported pain scores associated with lesions 3 months post-sclerotherapy. No death or serious adverse events occurred. Hemoglobinuria was observed in 23 patients (52%), a known drug-related adverse event. Prompt initiation of haptoglobin therapy led to full recovery within a month for these patients.<h4>Conclusions</h4>Ethanolamine oleate shows potential as a therapeutic sclerosing agent for patients with difficult-to-resect venous malformations.
