| Abstract: | Summary We report a rare combination of multiple hemangiomas and coarctation of the aorta in a 2-monthold female infant who responded
to interferon-α (IFN-α) therapy. The coarctation was repaired successfully with the use of an artificial graft. In patients
with symptomatic hemangiomas that do not respond to steroid therapy, IFN-α therapy should be considered. |
