A preterm infant presented with high-output cardiac failure. Color Doppler imaging of the liver revealed a large hepatic hemangioma. Pulsed-wave Doppler of the proximal aorta was used to monitor non-invasively the reduction in flow through the arteriovenous malformation in response to steroid therapy. The hemangioma resolved completely by 7 weeks of age.

Abstract An 8-day-old neonate was presented with severe respiratory distress and diagnosed as primary pulmonary hypertension of the newborn on functional echocardiogram. Evaluation showed bounding pulse, enlarged umbilical cord, and bruit over the periumbilical region. Transthoracic echocardiography and CT angiogram showed a large fistulous communication between the umbilical vein and artery suggestive of congenital umbilical arteriovenous malformation leading to high-output cardiac failure and pulmonary artery hypertension. The patient was stabilised with medications and ventilation. Transcatheter closure of communication was done using coils, vascular plug, and KONAR-MFTM device. The patient improved from heart failure soon after the procedure and thriving normally at 6 months of follow-up.

AbstractCongenital arteriovenous malformations are rare causes of congestive cardiac failure in neonates. The most common sites are in the head and liver, but other sites include the thorax, the abdomen and the limbs. The onset of failure is usually not in the immediate neonatal period, but later on in life, albeit that lesions such as the arteriovenous malformation of the vein of Galen, and other arteriovenous malformations in different locations which produce high flow can present early. We describe here the first case, to the best of our knowledge, of prenatal detection of an intrathoracic arteriovenous malformation producing neonatal cardiac failure, which was successfully treated by surgery postnatally.

Multinodular hemangiomatosis of the liver (MHL) is characterized pathologically by multiple hemangiomas, primarily in the liver but also in other organs. The hepatic hemangiomas act as small arteriovenous fistulae and their combined effect may result in a massive peripheral arteriovenous shunt and high output congestive cardiac failure. Patients with MHL may be recognized clinically by the classical triad of congestive cardiac failure, hepatomegaly, and cutaneous hemangiomas. All but 2 of 31 cases of MHL herein reviewed had the onset of symptoms prior to 6 months of age. High output cardiac failure were severe and resulted in a 70% mortality. Hepatomegaly was massive and out of proportion to the degree of cardiac failure. Therapy includes intensive treatment of congestive cardiac failure and judicious transfusion in anemic patients. Irradiation of the liver and corticosteroids have been utilized in attempts to speed evolution of the hepatic arteriovenous fistulae. The data are not sufficient to establish the efficacy of either of these treatment modalities.
