Transumbilical access for neonatal vein of Galen malformation and pial arteriovenous fistula embolization

Our findings align with previous reports of TU access in vascular malformations, emphasizing its role as a vital technique in neonatal neurointervention. The TU approach offers advantages such as sparing femoral arteries for future treatments and potential applicability to other high-flow brain fistulas. Our study contributes to the growing body of evidence supporting the use of TU access in neonatal neuroendovascular interventions, underscoring its importance in managing complex vascular malformations in this vulnerable population.
