A case of arteriovenous malformation of the pancreas treated with n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate transcatheter arterial embolization

Abstract

A 49-year-old man was admitted to our hospital complaining of severe epigastric pain. Contrast-enhanced abdominal computed tomography revealed an arteriovenous malformation of the pancreatic uncus. Because of unbearable epigastric pain, transcatheter arterial embolization was performed with n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate. Subsequently, his symptoms fully resolved; no recurrence of the arteriovenous malformation was seen more than 1 year after the embolization.
