The left adrenal vein: An important direction for right adrenal venous sampling [PDF]
The Journal of Clinical Hypertension, 2023 This study aimed to evaluate the guiding role of left adrenal vein (LAV) for right adrenal venous sampling (AVS). A total of 347 patients who were diagnosed with primary aldosteronism (PA) and underwent successful AVS procedures from January 2020 to July

Subtyping of Primary Aldosteronism by Adrenal Venous Sampling.
Endocr RevAbstract Primary aldosteronism (PA), the most common cause of arterial hypertension, is surgically curable if a unilateral source of the hyperaldosteronism is discovered. To identify which patients are curable, all current guidelines recommend adrenal venous sampling (AVS), a procedure which, albeit simple in principle, remains scarcely ...

Adrenal Venous Sampling for Subtype Diagnosis of Primary Hyperaldosteronism [PDF]
Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2021 Adrenal venous sampling (AVS) is the key procedure for lateralization of primary hyperaldosteronism (PA) before surgery. Identification of the adrenal veins using computed tomography (CT) and intraoperative cortisol assay facilitates the success of ...

An Ancillary Method for Adrenal Venous Sampling in Cases in Which Right Adrenal Vein Sampling Is Difficult [PDF]
Diagnostics, 2023 Catheterization of the right adrenal vein (rt.AdV) to obtain blood samples can often be difficult. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether blood sampling from the inferior vena cava (IVC) at its juncture with the rt.AdV can be an ...

Enhanced CT-guided adrenal venous sampling versus traditional X-ray-guided adrenal venous sampling in patients with primary aldosteronism. [PDF]
Medicine (Baltimore), 2023 To compare the accuracy, safety, operation time, and radiation dose of enhanced computed tomography (CT)-guided adrenal vein sampling (AVS) versus traditional X-ray-guided AVS in patients with primary aldosteronism. A total of 97 patients with primary aldosteronism were randomly assigned to either the enhanced CT-guided group (n = 48) or the ...

Evaluation of adrenal vein anatomy by adrenal venous sampling in patients with primary aldosteronism in Chinese [PDF]
The Journal of Clinical HypertensionAccurate cannulation of the adrenal vein is challenging during adrenal venous sampling (AVS) because of the variations in adrenal vein anatomy. This study aimed to investigate the adrenal venous morphology in Chinese and improve the success rate of AVS ...

Adrenal venous sampling in primary aldosteronism: Single-centre experience from Western India [PDF]
Indian Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2023 Introduction: The protocols and criteria used for adrenal venous sampling (AVS) differ across centres. There are no studies from the Indian subcontinent describing AVS-based outcomes in primary aldosteronism (PA). We aim to describe our experience from a

Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry Outperforms Radioimmunoassay in Guiding Surgical Decisions Based on Adrenal Venous Sampling in Primary Aldosteronism [PDF]
Endocrinology and MetabolismBackground Adrenal venous sampling (AVS) is essential for diagnosing unilateral aldosterone oversecretion in primary aldosteronism (PA). Traditionally, AVS relies on radioimmunoassay (RIA) to measure plasma aldosterone concentration (PAC), although RIA ...
