Parkes-Weber Syndrome is a rare congenital vascular abnormality characterized by aneurismaZc illness of blood arteries in the afflicted limb, as well as hypertrophy, ulceraZon, ischemia, and high-output heart failure. Imaging invesZgaZons are required to provide a diagnosis, with contrast arteriography being the gold standard. The majority of treatment opZons are endovascular, with surgical excision for arteriovenous malformaZons and limb amputaZon as alternaZves.We describe a 73-year-old male paZent with mainly asymptomaZc PWS, coronary disease, and borderline EF (45%) who had CABG surgery.In individuals with established CAD and other cardiac disorders, it is criZcal to idenZfy addiZonal diseases or syndromes that might have a compounding effect on the heart, such as PWS and high-output heart failure.
