Curative embolization of a vein of Galen malformation with a dual-lumen balloon and ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer

The endovascular approach is the standard treatment of vein of Galen malformations (VOGMs,) however the morbidity and mortality rates of VOGMs treated by embolization are still significant. Embolization with ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVOH) by a dual-lumen balloon (DLB) is a promising. In the...
