title: Embolization in neonates and infants.
abstract: Several conditions presenting in the neonatal and infant period benefit from embolization, including hemangioma, vascular shunts, and tumors. The physiological delicacy and small size of newborns create distinct challenges. This paper discusses embolization of these patients and illustrates the techniques involved.
