The first three cases of vascular malformations in humans (two artero‐venous aneurysms and one saccular aneyrysm) treated with the association of CO 2 laser and Neodymium: Yag lasers, are presented here. The post‐operative course has been very good. However, it is still necessary to examine a larger number of cases to see if, how, and when this treatment can be utalized in place of traditional methods.
