Biography

A 62-year-old man with liver cirrhosis presented with deterioration of liver function. Imaging studies revealed an arteriovenous malformation (AVM), with a dilated venous space, at the pancreatic head. Transarterial embolization of the AVM, using microcoils, was performed, although many feeding arteries remained. As the transarterial embolization was incomplete, further liver function deterioration was a possibility.
