Descriptor malformaciones vasculares
Scope note: Espectro de alteraciones congénitas, hereditarias o adquiridas de los VASOS SNGUÍNEOS, que pueden afectar al flujo sanguíneo en las ARTERIAS o VENAS. La mayoría son malformaciones congénitas, como comunicaciones anómalas entre vasos sanguíneos (fístula), derivación de la sangre arterial directamente a venas, eludiendo los CAPILARES (malformación arteriovenosa), formación de vasos dilatados grandes, llenos de sangre (angioma cavernoso) o capilares dilatados (telangiectasia). En casos poco frecuentes pueden ser consecuencia de traumatismos u otras enfermedades.

Scope note: A spectrum of congenital, inherited, or acquired abnormalities in BLOOD VESSELS that can adversely affect the normal blood flow in ARTERIES or VEINS. Most are congenital defects such as abnormal communications between blood vessels (fistula), shunting of arterial blood directly into veins bypassing the CAPILLARIES (arteriovenous malformations), formation of large dilated blood blood-filled vessels (cavernous angioma), and swollen capillaries (capillary telangiectases). In rare cases, vascular malformations can result from trauma or diseases.
