Transcatheter embolization effectively closes unwanted vascular connections in children. This minimally invasive pediatric cardiology technique offers good outcomes with low complication rates.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Interventional Cardiology
  • Vascular Surgery

Background:

  • Transcatheter embolization is increasingly used in pediatric cardiology.
  • It addresses superfluous vascular structures, including arterial, venous, and postsurgical connections.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe current indications, devices, materials, methods, applications, and results of pediatric cardiovascular embolization therapy.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature and clinical practices in pediatric transcatheter embolization.
  • Description of various embolic devices and materials used.

Main Results:

  • Embolization techniques are generally simple and yield good results.
  • Low complication rates are associated with these procedures.
