RESUMO

Oral propranolol is the treatment of choice for infantile hemangiomas. The growth relapse rate following oral propranolol therapy is not well established in the literature. The present study aimed at determining predictors of growth relapse of infantile hemangiomas after discontinuation of oral propranolol therapy. A retrospective analysis was performed of all cases of infantile hemangiomas aged ≤ 12 months undergoing oral propranolol therapy in a 6-year period. Of the 198 cases, regrowth after oral propranolol therapy was observed in 35 patients (18%). Facial hemangiomas showed a higher (p = 0.003) relapse rate as compared with other hemangiomas (27 out of 107 facial cases vs. 8 out of 91 with other location, respectively 25% and 8.8%). Of 35 growth relapses cases, 66% of cases (23 in total, 18 facial and 5 otherwise located hemangiomas) underwent a second cycle of oral propranolol therapy (median length of treatment 3 months, interquartile range 2-3). All cases had a successful outcome, either after a single cycle oral propranolol therapy (163 cases, 82%), or in case of regrowth, after a second therapy cycle (23 cases, 12%) or further conservative management (12 cases, 6%).Conclusion: Facial infantile hemangiomas relapse earlier and more frequently after oral propranolol therapy. We suggest to closely monitor these patients, as a second cycle of propranolol may be indicated. Prolonged oral propranolol therapy might be considered for facial infantile hemangiomas. What is Known: • Oral propranolol is the treatment of choice for infantile hemangiomas. • The growth relapse rate following oral propranolol is not well established. What is New: • The present study points out that facial infantile hemangioma relapse earlier and more frequently after oral propranolol therapy. • Patients with facial infantile hemangiomas should be monitored after propranolol therapy discontinuation.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The indication and extent of cardiac screening before oral propranolol therapy (OPT) in patients with infantile hemangioma (IH) has been challenged. In this study, we evaluated pre-OPT cardiac diagnostics in a pediatric IH cohort in our department. METHODS: Retrospective chart review of infants ≤ 12 months old with IH undergoing OPT. The diagnostics prior to OPT, occurrence of complications, and outcome were recorded. RESULTS: A total of 234 patients were evaluated. The mean age at the onset of OPT was 4.2 ± 0.3 months, the average duration of OPT was 6.1 ± 0.1 months, and the average follow-up was 12.3 ± 0.7 months. Echocardiograms and electrocardiograms were performed prior to OPT in all patients. One hundred and three (44.0%) echocardiograms revealed pathological findings, 19 (8.1%) of which were minor (including atrial septal defects, pulmonary stenosis, and patent ductus arteriosus). Pathological findings were observed in 17 (7.3%) of electrocardiograms, only one (0.4%) of which was minor (suspected cardiac arrhythmia, subsequently excluded by long-term electrocardiogram analysis). These findings did not contraindicate OPT and no severe adverse events associated with OPT occurred during the follow-up period. CONCLUSIONS: Routine cardiac screening by electrocardiogram and echocardiogram before OPT is debatable and not routinely indicated in children with IH. Further studies are necessary to draw definite conclusions on the reasonable indication and extent of this diagnostic approach.
