AB Summary: A fluoroscopy fade technique in the embolization of a vein of Galen malformation in a 10-week-old infant is discussed herin. The availability of the fluoroscopy fade function eliminated the necessity of road mapping during the procedure and permitted minimal usage of contrast material and minimal radiation exposure for the patient. Techniques used during the embolization and the benefits of the fluoroscopy fade feature are also described.
