  • Title: Three unusual arteriovenous fistulas presenting in young children successfully treated with transarterial endovascular embolization.
    Author: Gupta R, Yi HJ, Jovin TG, Horowitz MB.
    Journal: Pediatr Neurosurg; 2005; 41(6):328-33. PubMed ID: 16293953.
    Abstract:
    Endovascular approaches can be utilized to manage arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) either as a stand alone therapy or in conjunction with surgical excision. The goal of treatment is to completely obliterate the AVF. These vascular malformations are rare in childhood and pose a treatment challenge. We describe 3 children who were diagnosed with vascular malformations on magnetic resonance imaging and were subsequently found to have unusual AVFs on angiography. These single-feeder fistulas were successfully occluded with transarterial embolization using platinum coils.
