Summary
This study tested the drug sirolimus in 63 children aged 6 to 18 with large, complicated slow-flow vascular malformations (abnormal blood or lymph vessels). The goal was to see if sirolimus could shrink the malformations and ease symptoms like pain, bleeding, and swelling. Children were observed for a period, then treated with sirolimus for up to 12 months. Results showed that sirolimus helped reduce the size of the malformations and improved symptoms, though ongoing management may still be needed.
