CT shows that soft tissue changes after pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) surgery suggest local recurrence, researchers have reported. The changes include vessel encasement and luminal narrowing, wrote a team led by Tae-Hyung Kim, MD, of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City. Hyung's group found that on surveillance CT exams showing local recurrence after PDAC resection, new or increased soft tissue was present in 80% to 86%.

In arteriovenous malformation (AVM) consisting of multiple arterioles that shunt into a dominant draining vein, such as Cho Type II/Yakes Type III, occluding the vein can achieve a complete cure (1). However, tortuous vasculature can make catheterization to the embolization target difficult. The authors report that rectal inflation using a balloon device straightened the tortuous draining vein and overcame this hurdle in the embolization of rectal AVM.
