Area of Science:

Interventional Radiology
Vascular Surgery

Background:

Adrenal vein catheterization is crucial for diagnosing and managing adrenal gland disorders.
Accurate catheter placement is essential for successful adrenal vein sampling and interventions.
Existing techniques may present challenges in achieving stable positioning, especially in the left adrenal vein.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe a novel technique for left adrenal vein catheterization.
To evaluate the efficacy of the Mikaelsson catheter for achieving stable catheter positioning.
To demonstrate the feasibility of bilateral adrenal vein catheterization using a single catheter.

Main Methods:

A specific technique employing the Mikaelsson catheter for left adrenal vein access is detailed.
The method focuses on achieving and maintaining a stable catheter position within the left adrenal vein.
The approach facilitates sequential or simultaneous bilateral adrenal vein catheterization.

Main Results:

The described technique ensures a stable catheter position within the left adrenal vein.
Successful bilateral adrenal vein catheterization was achieved using a single Mikaelsson catheter.
This approach simplifies the procedural workflow compared to conventional methods.

Conclusions:

The Mikaelsson catheter facilitates a stable and effective technique for left adrenal vein catheterization.
This method offers a streamlined approach for bilateral adrenal vein catheterization.
The technique holds potential for improving diagnostic accuracy and therapeutic interventions in adrenal disorders.
