Abstract

We present the clinical course of an 8-month-old infant with a giant cutaneous hemangioma resulting in high-output heart failure and pulmonary hypertension. The lesion was successfully embolized and excised, with rapid resolution of heart failure and improvement in pulmonary hypertension.
