Summary
This study tests a one-time procedure done before birth to treat a rare brain blood vessel problem called vein of Galen malformation. About 20 fetuses at 34 weeks or later will receive the treatment, and their health will be checked every 6 months for 2 years after birth. The goal is to see if this early treatment lowers the risk of death in the first month of life compared to past cases.
