Abstract
High-flow vascular malformations in neonates may require emergent embolization to prevent or treat congestive heart failure when intervention is indicated.1 While transfemoral access is the traditional approach, this route may be complicated by the sheath size (typically 4F in our experience, as a smaller sheath system may prove suboptimal) needed for embolization. This is especially true when (1) multiple acute interventions are anticipated during the neonatal period and/or (2) when it is preferred to spare femoral access for future treatments in infancy or childhood.1-3 The safety and feasibility of using transumbilical (TU) access via the umbilical artery and maintaining an indwelling sheath post-procedurally has been previously described and indeed does spare the femoral arteries for later treatments; however, this technique has not yet been sufficiently demonstrated or reported to the extent that it could be easily reproduced.1-10 In this technical video, we detail the required materials and demonstrate a step-by-step guide to obtaining TU access in the context of neonatal vascular malformation embolization. Our practice has utilized this technique for decades and we hope that by sharing our methods with the neurointerventional community we may make this rarely performed procedure a feasible option for proceduralists (see video 1) .neurintsurg;jnis-2024-021561v1/V1F1V1Video 1Technical instructional video for trans-umbilical access in the neonate with sheath preservation for intervention.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of NeuroInterventional Surgery (JNIS) is a leading peer review journal for scientific research and literature pertaining to the field of neurointerventional surgery. The journal launch follows growing professional interest in neurointerventional techniques for the treatment of a range of neurological and vascular problems including stroke, aneurysms, brain tumors, and spinal compression.The journal is owned by SNIS and is also the official journal of the Interventional Chapter of the Australian and New Zealand Society of Neuroradiology (ANZSNR), the Canadian Interventional Neuro Group, the Hong Kong Neurological Society (HKNS) and the Neuroradiological Society of Taiwan.
