Abstract

Various treatment methods are available for the treatment of pancreatic arteriovenous malformation (P-AVM); however, there are no established treatment options for asymptomatic P-AVM. A 47-year-old and a 50-year-old male patients sought treatment for P-AVM in the pancreas, which was incidentally detected during routine abdominal computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging conducted as part of a health check-up. They underwent transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE), and over the course of a 9-year follow-up period, the AVM did not worsen and was asymptomatic. TAE can be considered as an alternative treatment option for P-AVM in selective cases where patients are asymptomatic or have a high surgical risk.
