| Abstract |
|
Congenital intracranial pial arteriovenous fistula complicated with high output heart failure is a rare disease of the cerebral vasculature. Like vein of Galen malformation, it can cause high output cardiac failure, but the treatment strategy is different. To lead a neonate with severe heart failure to normally grow with the brain and body, a rapid treatment is mandatory and has to target on removing the fistula. The authors report on a neonate with congenital pial arteriovenous fistula complicated with high output heart failure, which recovered with transarterial embolization and allowed the neonate to thrive. |
