The β-blocker propranolol has become a valuable and effective drug for the treatment of infantile hemangiomas. Its therapeutic action probably results from vasoconstriction, blocking of angiogenesis through effects on vascular endothelial growth factor and induction of apoptosis. It is reasonable to suggest that propranolol can also be used effectively in the treatment of other vascular abnormalities. This case report describes propranolol treatment of vascular malformations such as Klippel-Trénaunay syndrome or Parkes-Weber syndrome in adults.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
