Comparative Analysis of Single-Path and Multipath Adrenal Venous Sampling in Primary Aldosteronism.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of adrenal venous sampling (AVS) via the cubital vein and femoral vein synchronously.

Methods

A total of 200 patients with primary aldosteronism admitted to the First Hospital of Fujian Medical University were enrolled and randomly divided into a single-path AVS group (SP, N = 108) and a multipath AVS group (MP, N = 92). We analyzed the clinical characteristics, intubation success rate, procedure cost, total fluoroscopy time, complications, contrast dosage, and the number of catheters selected during AVS. A planar quadrant system was established to mark the direction of the adrenal opening, with the intersection of the right renal vein and the inferior vena cava defined as the origin.
