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.
本病例报告描述了微血管栓塞系统（MVP）在大脑大静脉动脉瘤样畸形的壁型静脉中的应用，成功闭塞了脑血管瘘。血流立即停止以及6个月的随访血管造影证实了这一结果。MVP的独特特性相较于目前用于闭塞高流量、瘘样颅内血管（如大脑大静脉动脉瘤样畸形中所见血管）的栓塞技术具有潜在优势，可能是现有治疗选择中有价值的补充。
