Abstract
- Congenital arteriovenous fistulae, especially those involving the umbilical vein, are extremely rare. Here we report a case of prenatally diagnosed multiple congenital arteriovenous fistulae forming a communication between the left hepatic and both epigastric arteries to the umbilical vein, which was successfully treated with coil embolization and surgery shortly after birth in order to prevent cardiac failure and pulmonary hypertension for the first time in Korea.
