title: Coaxial balloon-catheter device for treatment of neonates and infants.
abstract: Lack of preservation of the femoral artery after therapeutic angiography in neonates and infants has been a major obstacle to the repeated use of coaxial catheter systems. A catheter system is described that, because of its small size, has proved successful in the treatment of intracranial vascular malformations in neonates and infants by preservation of the femoral artery for future use.
