In the Netherlands we started this initiative, and we have also taken our professors several times to the American and Canadian conferences with the aim of providing both personal medical advice and giving presentations. Unfortunately, we had to stop this due to legal issues.<\/p>\n

Medical advice<\/h2>\n

Through our organization, patients can also use the knowledge and experience within this team, for example, getting personal medical advice:<\/p>\n

In a number of cases, the patient will actually have to be seen by one or more doctors.<\/p>\n

There are 4 centers of expertise in the field of vascular malformations in the Netherlands:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Amsterdam: Academic Medical Center.
    \nThis center has a special team of Congenital Vascular Anomalies (AVA team).
    \nWebsite AVA<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Nijmegen: Radboud University Medical Center.
    \nThe Hecovan working group operates within this center, which consists of doctors with all kinds of specializations: dermatology, (intervention) radiology, plastic surgery, vascular surgery, paediatrics, pediatric surgery and oral surgery. If necessary, we also consult a neurologist, paediatrician, internist, ophthalmologist, ENT specialist, orthopedist, pain team, pathologist, oncologist, etc.
    \n    Website Hecovan<\/a><\/li>\n
  3. Rotterdam: Eramus Medical Center.
    \nnamed WEVAR. In the WEVAR team (Working Group Vascular Anomalies Rotterdam) specialisms work together within the Pediatric Surgical Group in the Erasmus MC-Sophia Children’s Hospital. This joining of forces ensures optimal substantive cooperation and makes it possible to make maximum use of the available capacity. The specialties are: Pediatric anaesthesia, Dermatology, Oral surgery, Pediatric surgery, ENT, Neurosurgery, Neurology, Ophthalmology, Orthopedics, Plastic surgery, Thorax and Urology.
    \nThe total team consists of approximately 25 medical specialists.
    \n    WEVAR website<\/a><\/li>\n
  4. Utrecht: University Medical Center – Wilhelmina Children’s Hospital.
    \n    Website CAVU<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Patients in the Netherlands usually only need a referral from, for example, a general practitioner to an expertise center.<\/p>\n

    We hope to be able to help many patients and their family members with this service!<\/p>\n

    Medical advice in Rotterdam<\/h2>\n

    A medical advice in this context is:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. When complications have occurred or occur.<\/li>\n
    2. The patient and\/or parents have questions about these complications.<\/li>\n
    3. No diagnosis has yet been made in the past.<\/li>\n
    4. This consultation will be conducted at the Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam within the special multidisciplinary team WEVAR on the Friday preceding our members’ conference on Saturday.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      This medical advice is associated with costs that are often (partly) reimbursed by health insurance. For patients within the European Union, the S2 form is available (via health insurance). For patients outside the European Union, medical insurance is required.<\/p>\n

      International patients (children), please send an email to klantmanager.sophia@erasmusmc.nl<\/a><\/p>\n

      International patients (adults), please send an email to klantmanager@erasmusmc.nl<\/a><\/p>\n

      Multidisciplinary teams<\/h2>\n

      We recommend that the diagnosis and treatment of vascular malformations be done in a multidisciplinary vascular medical center where multiple physicians with different expertise are present in one consultation.
