Comprehensive Vascular Anomalies Program (CVAP)
If your child has a vascular anomaly, it means that some of their veins or arteries aren’t shaped correctly or there are too many of them. A vascular anomaly can be harmless, like certain birthmarks. But some can be very harmful or painful.
The Comprehensive Vascular Anomalies Program (CVAP) has world-class experts who use advanced technology to determine the cause of your child’s condition. We then identify therapies for your child's specific diagnosis.
Depending on the severity of their condition, your child may see specialists from many different fields, such as cardiology, oncology, dermatology, neurology or ophthalmology. Because these conditions can be very challenging, we also provide psychosocial and emotional support services. We will be by your family's side every step of the way.
