Core Tip Sirolimus is increasingly used as targeted therapy for pediatric vascular anomalies, yet real-world clinical data remain limited. In this retrospective study of children with vascular tumors and malformations, sirolimus demonstrated a high response rate and an acceptable safety profile across diverse disease subtypes. Rapid resolution of Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon was observed in patients with kaposiform hemangioendothelioma receiving combination therapy. However, disease progression occurred after treatment discontinuation, highlighting the need for careful post-therapy monitoring. These findings support sirolimus as an effective treatment option in refractory or unresectable pediatric vascular anomalies and emphasize the importance of optimizing treatment duration and follow-up strategies.
