Exclusion criteria: - Pre-treatment of cutaneous venous and capillary vascular malformations eligible for study procedures during the 12 weeks preceding study treatment (e.g. cryotherapy, radiotherapy, laser treatment). - Treatment with systemic retinoids during the 3 months preceding study therapy. - Female patients with a positive pregnancy test. - Breast-feeding female patients. - Patients with clinically relevant suppression of the immune system. - Patients with non-controllable thyroid malfunction, for which administration of iodine is contraindicated. - Patients with an allergy against iodine. - Patients with severe liver malfunction. - Skin diseases that might interfere with response evaluation of study treatment. - Skin sun sensitivity type V or VI according to Fitzpatrick. - Proven sensitivity or adverse reactions to one or more of the ingredients of ICG. - Dementia or psychic conditions that might interfere with the ability to understand the study and thus give a written informed consent. - Planned extensive UV-exposure (UV-phototherapy, vacation, tanning studio) in the first 2 months after treatment. - Simultaneous participation in another clinical study or participation in another clinical study in the 30 days directly preceding inclusion. - Suspected lack of compliance. - Uncooperative patients.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The objective of this pilot study is to evaluate the feasibility of a future main study, which will evaluate the efficacy of ICG-mediated laser for the treatment of cutaneous venous and capillary vascular malformations;Secondary Objective: Comparison of safety of and tolerability to study treatments. Cosmetic outcome 12 weeks after study treatments. Evaluation of parameters for a main trial. Possibility to recruit patients. Randomization and blinding. Calculation of patient number. Practicability and identification of problems of the design of the main study. ;Primary end point(s): clinical improvement 3 months following ICG-augmented laser therapy;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 3 months following treatment

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): efficacy, side effects, patient satisfaction;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 3 months after treatment
