Adrenal Vein Sampling: How We Do It

Primary aldosteronism is the most common cause of secondary hypertension. When unilateral disease is present, patients can be treated curatively by adrenalectomy. Adrenal vein sampling (AVS) is considered essential for discrimination between unilateral versus bilateral disease. Knowledge of normal and variant anatomy of the adrenal veins is important to avoid misleading results and increase technical success. T...

Adrenal Vein Sampling in the Management of Primary Aldosteronism: The Added Val...

Introduction: Primary aldosteronism is the most common cause of secondary hypertension. Adrenal vein sampling is the gold standard for subtyping primary aldosteronism. However, this procedure is technically challenging and often has a low success rate. Our center is one of the very few performing this technique in our country with an increasing experience. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the ro...

Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumour of the Common Bile Duct

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour is a rare entity of indeterminate biological potential with a reduced tendency for recurrence and metastasis. Although it can arise from multiple organs, the bile duct is a very rare site of origin. We report the case of a 75-year-old asymptomatic male with elevated gamma-glutamyl transferase [1575 U/L (12 - 64 U/L)] and alkaline phosphatase [271 U/L (40 - 150 U/L)]. Computed...

Most Common Misconceptions About Transradial Approach in Interventional Radiolo...

Purpose: We aimed to assess the use of transradial approach (TRA) among interventional radiologists (IRs) and its perceived advantages and disadvantages that have driven the decision to select or refuse this endovascular approach. Methods: A multicountry survey of 20 multiple-choice questions was conducted among interventional radiologists in Europe and the United States. Questions assessed demographic informat...

Multimodality Imaging in Connective Tissue Disease-Related Interstitial Lung Di...

Interstitial lung disease is a well-recognised manifestation and a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with connective tissue diseases. Interstitial lung disease may arise in the context of an established connective tissue disease or be the initial manifestation of an otherwise occult autoimmune disorder. Early detection and characterisation are paramount for adequate patient management and requi...

Aneurisma Venoso Popliteu. Relato de 2 Casos

O aneurisma da veia popliteia (AVP) é uma entidada rara mas que comporta um risco importante de trombose venosa profunda (TVP) e consequente tromboembolismo pulmonar (TEP). Uma vez que a anticoagulação não é eficaz na prevenção dessas complicações, a cirurgia é o tratamento indicado pela quase totalidade dos autores. Apresentamos dois casos tratados no nosso serviço que ilustram o caráter pleomórfico desta doen...
