Evaluation of adrenal vein anatomy by adrenal venous sampling in patients with primary aldosteronism in Chinese [PDF]
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 ...

Hypertension, 2011 In patients with primary aldosteronism, adrenal venous sampling is helpful to distinguish between unilateral and bilateral adrenal diseases. However, the procedure is technically challenging, and selective bilateral catheterization often fails. The aim of this analysis was to evaluate success rate in a retrospective analysis and compare data with ...

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

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 ...

Bilateral adrenal adenomas presenting with ACTH-independent Cushing’s syndrome and primary aldosteronism: diagnostic insights from multi-steroid adrenal venous sampling [PDF]
Frontiers in EndocrinologyBackgroundPrimary aldosteronism (PA) is the most prevalent cause of secondary hypertension (HTN), and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)-independent Cushing’s syndrome (CS) represents a distinct form of adrenal-derived secondary HTN.

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 ...

C-Arm Computed Tomography-Assisted Adrenal Venous Sampling Improved Right Adrenal Vein Cannulation and Sampling Quality in Primary Aldosteronism [PDF]
Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2018 BackgroundAdrenal venous sampling (AVS) is a gold standard for subtype classification of primary aldosteronism (PA). However, this procedure has a high failure rate because of the anatomical difficulties in accessing the right adrenal vein.

Adrenal venous sampling as a method of primary hyperaldosteronism assessment [PDF]
Arterial Hypertension, 2023 We read with great interest the article by Orczyk et. al which discussed an unusual presentation and clinical course of primary hyperaldosteronism, which is frequently caused by Conn’s syndrome. Inspired by their engrossing work, we would like to address

International Journal of Endocrinology, 2019 The management of patients with adrenocorticotropic hormone-independent Cushing’s syndrome and bilateral adrenal masses is challenging. Adrenal venous sampling (AVS) has been used to identify functional lesions in previous studies, but it is not always ...
