Article Synopsis
- Vein of Galen malformations (VGMs) are serious congenital issues that need multiple endovascular treatments due to high blood flow and related complications like heart failure and hydrocephalus.
- An 8-month-old with VGM showed heart failure symptoms and was treated using a transvenous approach for coil embolization while continuously monitoring venous pressures to assess treatment effectiveness.
- The successful monitoring revealed increasing pressure gradients correlating with improved blood flow reduction, leading to better patient outcomes post-surgery, suggesting a new method for objectively guiding VGM treatment.
