In this paper we present a rare case of splenic rupture that occurred after an open aortic valve replacement in a male patient with hemangiomatosis of the spleen and the liver. The patient was treated with an emergency splenectomy. He showed no other sings of associated systemic disorder, such as Klippel-trénaunay syndrome or Proteus syndrome.

A review of Klippel-Trenaunay Weber Syndrome (KTWS) precedes a case of a patient with Non-Healing Wounds secondary to the aforementioned rare congenital syndrome. Successful treatment for these ulcerations is then outlined. A discussion follows tying KTWS to modem venous hypertensive wound care techniques. We believe this is the only report of its type targeting lower extremity practitioners in...
