Successful management of an arteriovenous malformation with trametinib in a patient with capillary-malformation arteriovenous malformation syndrome and cardiac compromise.

ABSTRACT

Capillary malformation-arteriovenous malformation (CM-AVM) syndrome is an autosomal dominant condition characterized by multifocal, noncontiguous pink patches on the skin that often have a surrounding pale halo. In some cases, an association with a fast flow, arteriovenous malformation (AVM) can be identified. Here, we describe a case report of a 16-year-old woman with CM-AVM syndrome and significant cardiac compromise successfully treated with trametinib, a mitogen-activated protein kinase (MEK) inhibitor.
