Abstract Background Infantile hepatic hemangioma (IHH) is a rare endothelial cell neoplasm, which may be concurrent with severe complications and result in poor outcomes. Moreover, the coexistence of IHH and congenial heart disease is even rarer. Case presentation We present a 10-day-old male born with IHH associated with patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), atrial septal defect (ASD) and pulmonary hypertension. Moreover, we reviewed a series of studies of IHH-associated high-output cardiac failure between 1974 and 2018, and summarized the treatment outcomes. Conclusions Infantile hepatic hemangioma (IHH) has been known to induce high-output heart failure. There is no literature to summarize the severity of its impact on heart, which can lead to a high mortality rate. When IHH is detected by ultrasound, the heart should be evaluated to facilitate treatment. The outcomes of IHH associated with heart failure are good.

Hepatic hemangiomas are benign, well-circumscribed tumors often found incidentally on imaging. They are estimated to be prevalent in 0.4-20% of the population. While usually solitary lesions, these tumors tend to not cause any issues for patients. However, when they grow to be larger than 5 cm, there can be associated symptoms including pain, nausea, or early satiety from compression on adjacent structures. There can be more rare, serious complications including hemobilia, rupture, coagulopathy, or high output heart failure seen in tumors that are typically larger than 10 cm. While small hepatic hemangiomas (<5 cm) that do not cause symptoms do not need to be followed, ones that are greater than 5 cm should be followed at least once to ensure that they are stable in size, or more regularly if they are growing. Symptomatic large hepatic hemangiomas can be intervened on with a number of procedures if needed. These include hepatectomy, enucleation, transcatheter arterial embolization, radiofrequency ablation, and in rare cases, liver transplant.

Background Arteriovenous malformations rarely cause congestive heart failure. Pregnancy may in theory trigger heart failure associated with congenital arteriovenous malformations leading to secondary pulmonary hypertension, but no cases have been reported proving that condition. Methods and results We report a 23-year-old pregnant woman at 36 + 5 weeks of gestation requiring urgent medical care because of shortness of breath. High-output heart failure was suspected, and a congenital arteriovenous malformation on the right scapular region was considered as the possible origin. The patient required urgent caesarean delivery because of ongoing cardiac failure, which improved soon after delivery. Postpartum angiography of the right subclavian artery revealed an arteriovenous malformation on the deltoid region with venous drainage through the subclavian vein and increased flow to the superior cava vein and right atrium. Conclusion A high index of suspicion of arteriovenous malformations should be maintained in pregnant women with cutaneous vascular malformation-like lesions, if symptoms of heart failure are present.

OWR is a genetic disease, transmitted as an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by arteriovenous malformations predominantly involving the mucocutaneous epithelium. One of the significant complications is the development of arteriovenous fistulas in different organs like the liver and brain. One of the rarest complications of this arteriovenous conduit is a high-output heart failure. We would like to describe a 66 years old woman who was admitted with a high-output cardiac failure who deteriorated clinically and was treated successfully by conservative management.
