Adrenal venous sampling (AVS), although difficult, is recommended for patients with primary aldosteronism (PA) to diagnose the subtype. Recognizing anatomical variation is key to a successful AVS. We report on a patient with PA and left inferior vena cava (IVC) whose left adrenal vein drained directly into the IVC.
肾上腺静脉采血(AVS)虽然操作困难,但对于原发性醛固酮增多症(PA)患者,推荐采用该方法来诊断亚型。识别解剖变异是成功进行AVS的关键。我们报告了一例患有PA且下腔静脉(IVC)左侧异常的患者,其左肾上腺静脉直接汇入IVC。
