ABSTRACT
SUMMARY: Cerebral diagnostic and therapeutic angiography for neonatal arteriovenous fistulas is reported. Three neonatal boys with vein of Galen aneurysmal malformation (1 patient) and dural arteriovenous fistulas (2 patients) presented severe congestive heart failure soon after birth, and were treated by transarterial and/or transvenous embolization using various access routes. In the neonatal period, umbilical approach and direct cervical approach provide unique access routes in addition to the usual transfemoral route. Characteristics of neonatal angiography are discussed.
