    Summary

    This study presents a simpler, faster, and safer method for selective venous catheterization using the subclavian approach. This technique aids in diagnosing parathyroid tumors more efficiently than traditional femoral vein sampling.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Vascular Surgery
    • Diagnostic Imaging

    Background:

    • Selective venous catheterization with parathyroid hormone assay is crucial for diagnosing parathyroid tumors.
    • Current methods using femoral vein sampling can be time-consuming and uncertain.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a simpler, quicker, and less hazardous technique for selective venous catheterization.
    • To improve the diagnostic yield and efficiency in evaluating parathyroid tumors.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized a subclavian venous approach for catheterization.
    • Employed a short, single-curve catheter for enhanced torsion control.
    • Performed selective venous sampling for parathyroid hormone assay.

    Main Results:

    • The subclavian approach proved to be simpler and quicker than the femoral route.
    • The technique demonstrated reduced hazard and improved ease of execution.
    • High degree of torsion control was achieved with the specialized catheter.

    Conclusions:

    • The subclavian venous catheterization technique is a valuable alternative for parathyroid tumor diagnosis.
    • This method offers improved efficiency and safety compared to traditional approaches.
    • Enhanced catheter control facilitates accurate parathyroid hormone sampling.
