In 2009-2013 yrs in 7 patients, suffering insulin-producing pancreatic tumors, the ASVS-test was conducted, the result of which was compared with data of standard methods of investigation, including abdominal ultrasound, computer tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. The insuloma enucleation was performed in 3 patients, distal subtotal pancreatectomy with splenectomy--in 1 and the completed total pancreatectomy--in 1. The ASVS-test conduction is indicated in patients with diagnosed hyperinsulinism while impossibility to perform a topic diagnosis of insulinoma, in accordance to data of other noninvasive methods of diagnosis.
