The multidisciplinary consultation on vascular anomalies was created in 1976 at Lariboisière by Pr. JJ Merland and Dr. MC Riché, both interventional neuroradiologists. In the 1970s, cerebral and spinal cord arteriography led to the discovery of "atypical vascular lesions" on angiography, associated with skin lesions affecting both children and adults.

Pr. JJ Merland and Dr. MC Riché therefore wondered which entities they might be dealing with, and decided to make the "rounds of the staffs" of the internal medicine, vascular surgery, dermatology and ENT departments in Paris to present their case and seek volunteers to take part in a "possible Angioma consultation" that could jointly manage these patients with "skin" and "vessel" lesions, and sometimes even extension into deep tissues. It was therefore necessary to bring together the expertise of different specialties: pediatrics, dermatology, surgery: Orl/Maxillo-facial/Plastic/Vascular, Anatomopathology, Hematology (coagulation disorders), and Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology.  In order to establish the diagnosis and therapeutic management adapted to each sub-entity, "The idea of the first Angioma consultation in France and at Lariboisière was thus born".

They met Dr. O. Enjolras at Hôpital Tarnier and Dr. F. Lemarchand-Venencie at Necker hospital (Pr Saurat's department at the time), who both agreed to join the multidisciplinary consultation as dermatologists.

Dr. Hadjean (maxillo-facial surgeon from the Lariboisière ENT Department), Dr. Claude Laurian (vascular surgeon at Hôpital Saint Joseph), Dr. JM Brévière (cardio-pediatrics from Lille), Dr. Michel Wassef (anatomo-pathologist from Lariboisière) and Pr. Ludovic Drouet (hematologist) also joined them for these multidisciplinary consultations.
