Vascular Care

Malformation Clinic

Malformation Clinic

Vascular malformations are abnormalities of the blood vessels: veins, arteries, lymphatics, or some combination. Most are benign conditions present at birth, but some may progress to create problems later in life.

The UNC Malformation Clinic is unique in that it’s the only clinic in the Southeast to bring together specialists from 14 medical departments—both pediatric and adult—on a regular basis to meet and discuss treatment options for patients with vascular malformations. All of the physicians are here on the UNC Health Care campus, allowing for a seamless referral from one specialist to another.
