Diagnosis and treatment in the Netherlands

For patients within the Netherlands: request a referral from your general practitioner.

We have been helping for many years; patients from all over the world come to the Netherlands, particularly for medical diagnosis by the multidisciplinary WEVAR team at the Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam.

Radboud UMC also has an expertise center called Hecovan.

We have established contacts for this purpose, and you can reach these expertise centers using the description below.

Are you a patient or does your child have a hemangioma or vascular malformation and would you like to contact the Hecovan working group? First, consult with your general practitioner or your own specialist. They can refer you to the Hecovan working group.

Email: hecovan@radboudumc.nl

Send an email to the following email address klantmanager.sophia@erasmusmc.nl and include the following information:

To better assist you, we ask that you provide the following information:

1. First and last name of the patient.
2. Date of birth.
3. Street name and house number.
4. Postal code and city.
5. Phone number.
6. Country.

We would also like to receive additional medical information:

1. Referral letter from your current doctor, with a clear medical question from the doctor in your place of residence to our doctor at Erasmus MC.
2. Most recent medical records in PDF files.
3. If you have original DICOM files (MRI/CT), please send them via Wetransfer (we do not accept photo copies).

All medical records must be legible and translated into English/Dutch.

We would also like to know how you plan to finance the treatment at Erasmus MC:

1. Do you have an (international) insurance, if so; which one?
2. Do you wish to pay for the treatment yourself first and later claim it back from your insurer?
