Abstract
Two patients (11 and 23 months old, respectively) had successful trans catheter occlusion of congenital arterio-venous or veno-venous malform ations using detachable silicone balloons. Patient 1 with a cervicofac ial hemangioma had selective embolization of the feeding artery with t wo balloons. Patient 2, with a veno-venous malformation between a syst emic vein and pulmonary vein also had selective embolization of the le sion with two balloons. Follow-up examinations confirm a successful ou tcome in both cases.
