Summary
This study presents a novel anchor coil technique for treating arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) in newborns. This method successfully obliterated the AVF while preserving blood flow, reducing coil migration risks.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Vascular Surgery
- Interventional Radiology
Background:
- Arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) are abnormal connections between arteries and veins.
- Congenital AVFs, especially in the brain, can pose significant risks, particularly in newborns.
- Treatment options for pediatric AVFs require careful consideration to minimize complications.
