  • Arteriovenous malformation (AVM) of the pancreas is extremely rare, although it may be increasingly diagnosed due to the widespread use of cross-sectional imaging of the abdomen. Early diagnosis of this disease is important to prevent delay of treatment and resulting fatal complications. We report a rare case of pancreatic AVM in a 48-year-old man who presented with severe chronic anemia and early gastric cancer, which made diagnosis challenging. Imaging findings, including ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging, are shown, as well as the pathologic features.

  • Hepatic toxocariasis is a type of visceral larva migrans caused by the migration of second-stage larvae of certain nematodes such as Toxocara canis to the liver. Histologically, the condition is characterized by granulomatous lesions containing eosinophils and inflammatory cells. We report a case of hepatic toxocariasis with atypical clinical and radiologic findings presenting as distinct, solitary hepatic nodule detected in a middle-aged woman.

  • The crossing Y-stent method is one of the indispensable techniques to achieve sufficient neck coverage during coil embolization of bifurcation aneurysms with a wide neck and/or branch incorporation. However, the inevitable hourglass-like expansion of the second stent at the crossing point can result in insufficient vessel wall apposition, reduced aneurysm neck coverage, delayed endothelialization, and subsequent higher risks of acute or delayed thrombosis. It also interferes with engagement of the microcatheter into the aneurysm after stent installation. We expected to be able to reduce these disadvantages by installing a noncrossing type Y-stent using the Solitaire AB stent, which is fully retrievable with a tapered proximal end. Here we report the techniques and two successful cases.
