Abstract
Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT) is an inherited, autosomal dominant, vascular disorder that affects an estimated 1 in 5,000 individuals (approximately 1.5M globally and 62,000 in the USA. It is characterized by the presence of multiple arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). An arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is an abnormal tangle of blood vessels connecting arteries and veins, disrupting normal blood flow and oxygen circulation. This study proposes a high-resolution, non-invasive multifunctional imaging system that combines 1.7um D-OCT/OCTA to accurately interrogate HHT skin lesions, including hands, chest, and tongue. Integrated OCTA and Doppler OCT imaging can provide information on lesion architecture and microvasculature. We use this methodology to interrogate individual lesion morphology, compare mucosal and skin lesions, and ultimately, evaluate the vascular effects of anti-VEGF treatment.
