    Females represented 58% of the patients, with a mean age of 52 years; 50% were asymptomatic and 73% showed no laboratory abnormalities.

  • 3

    CT was the primary diagnostic method used in 56% of cases, and the mean size of pancreatic AVMs was reported as 7.1 mm.

    Conservative management was the predominant treatment approach, utilized in 69% of the cases reviewed.

    The study concluded that pancreatic AVMs in HHT are generally smaller and less symptomatic compared to those in the general population.
