Abstract

The treatment of choice of Vein of Galen Aneurysmal Malformation (VGAM) involves endovascular procedures that can be technically challenging to perform in ultra high-flow fistulas. We describe the use of a balloon-assisted technique to safely treat an ultra high-flow fistula in an infant with VGAM.
