This case report describes the use of the Micro Vascular Plug (MVP) system in a mural-type vein of Galen aneurysmal malformation, resulting in successful occlusion of the cerebrovascular fistula. This result was confirmed with immediate cessation in blood flow and 6-month follow-up angiography. The unique characteristics of the MVP provide potential advantages over current embolic techniques for occlusion of high-flow, fistulous, intracranial vessels such as those seen in the vein of Galen aneurysmal malformation, and may represent a valuable addition to the currently available options.
Keywords: MVP = Micro Vascular Plug; Micro Vascular Plug; VGAM = vein of Galen aneurysmal malformation; arteriovenous malformation; endovascular; vascular disorders; vein of Galen.
