The preoperative identification of adrenal tumor is essential to correct diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Adrenal venography is one of the most useful adjuncts for this purpose, but catheters of various types introduced in the past are not necessarily well configured to catheterize adrenal veins. The catheter newly designed by us made catheterization of the left adrenal vein much easier even for unskilled hands. Our new catheter has been used in 20 of 55 venographical studies which have been carried out in our service. Determination of cortisol concentrations in adrenal venous blood which was performed in 6 cases failed to give any clue to determine the laterality of the existing adrenal tumor.
肾上腺肿瘤的术前识别对于正确诊断和适当治疗至关重要。肾上腺静脉造影是实现这一目的最有用的辅助手段之一，但过去使用的各种类型导管不一定非常适合用于肾上腺静脉插管。我们新设计的导管使左肾上腺静脉插管变得更加容易，即使是技术不熟练的人也能操作。我们的新导管已在我们科室进行的55项静脉造影研究中的20项中使用。对6例患者进行的肾上腺静脉血皮质醇浓度测定未能为确定现有肾上腺肿瘤的侧别提供任何线索。
