[Retrograde Ascending Aortic Dissection during Thoracic Endovascular Stent Graft Repair: A Case Report].

A 66-year-old man (166 cm and 64 kg) with a history of hypertension was diagnosed with a.chronic aortic dissection (DeBakey IIIa type). He underwent thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) under general anesthesia (sevoflurane and remifentanil) in an angiography room.

High F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose accumulation in solid pseudo-papillary tumors of the pancreas.

We report two cases of young women with a solid pseudo-papillary tumor of the pancreas which having cystic and hemorrhagic components with marked calcification on computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography revealed abnormally increased accumulation of F- 18 fluorodeoxyglucose in the pancreas tail tumors, especially in the non-calcified solid portion of the tumors. These patients underwent elective resection of the masses and distal pancreatectomy and were diagnosed with solid pseudo-papillary tumors by histopathological analysis.
