Adrenal venous sampling in patients with ACTH-independent hypercortisolism [PDF]

Endocrine, 2019
To study the usefulness of adrenal venous sampling (AVS) in distinguishing unilateral from bilateral cortisol production in patients with ACTH-independent hypercortisolism and bilateral adrenal lesions, or morphologically normal adrenal glands.A retrospective analysis of ten consecutive patients with ACTH-independent hypercortisolism who underwent AVS ...

Utility of right adrenal signature veins in venous sampling for primary aldosteronism

Annals of Medicine, 2023
Background This study aimed to identify the appropriate signature veins for the right adrenal gland using a 3D model fused with adrenal venography images and to verify their accuracy through the selectivity index (SI) >2.Methods We analyzed the right ...

Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry Outperforms Radioimmunoassay in Guiding Surgical Decisions Based on Adrenal Venous Sampling in Primary Aldosteronism [PDF]

Endocrinology and Metabolism
Background 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 ...

Anatomical Variations Encountered during Adrenal Venous Sampling: A Report of Three Case Series and Review of Literature [PDF]

Journal of the Korean Society of Radiology
Primary aldosteronism is a group of disorders in which the autonomous secretion of aldosterone is associated with hypertension and hypokalemia. It is crucial to determine the laterality of aldosterone hypersecretion because treatment options differ ...

Preoperative supine time for adrenal venous sampling: a prospective randomized controlled trial [PDF]

Trials
Background Primary aldosteronism (P.A.) is the most common form of secondary hypertension, accounting for 5% of hypertensive patients and 17–23% of patients with resistant hypertension. Compared to primary hypertension, P.A. is more prone to cause severe

Adrenal Vein Sampling: Does the Location of the Non-adrenal Venous Sample Matter? [PDF]

CardioVascular and Interventional Radiology, 2023
Abstract Purpose Adrenal vein sampling (AVS) is used to lateralise and differentiate unilateral from bilateral aldosterone production in primary aldosteronism. The adrenal venous samples are standardised to a peripheral or low inferior vena cava (IVC) sample and compared.

Use of Bony Landmarks during Adrenal Venous Sampling to Guide Catheterization of the Left Adrenal Vein

The Arab Journal of Interventional Radiology, 2021
Purpose The aim of this study was to examine the utility of fluoroscopic bony landmarks in predicting the location of the left adrenal vein during adrenal vein sampling (AVS). Methods Eighty-six AVS procedures were performed in 81 patients between August

Radiology Case Reports, 2021
This report presents a case of left adrenal aldosterone-producing adenoma (APA) diagnosed by segmental adrenal venous sampling in a patient with primary aldosteronism and a rare venous anomaly in which the left inferior phrenic vein (LIPV) and adrenal ...

Techniques in adrenal vein sampling: Multipurpose catheter shape facilitates sampling of cranially oriented right adrenal veins [PDF]

, 2022
Adrenal vein sampling (AVS) failure is often attributed to difficulty sampling the right adrenal vein (RAV). Normally, the RAV is caudally oriented, however, cranial orientation of the RAV is not uncommon.
