Management of an asymptomatic pulmonary arteriovenous fistula diagnosed prenatally by detachable balloon embolization: a case report

The case illustrates the detachable occlusion balloons appear to be an effective tool for embolization of PAVF in children, especially in cases involving large feeding vessels.
