Findings
A coronal reformat (Fig. 64.5) from a contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) demostrates a large
gastrorenal shunt (arrow) arising from the le renal vein (star). An axial image from the same CT (Fig. 64.6) shows submucosal gastric varices (arrow) covered by a thin layer of gastric mucosa (hollow arrow).
e gastrorenal shunt (GRS) has been catheterized from a femoral vein approach (Fig. 64.7). Contrast
injection with a balloon inated lls the gastric varices (arrow). Asystemic vein (phrenic) is seen medial to the shunt (hollow arrow).
Aer coil embolization of the systemic vein (arrow), the catheter has been advanced distally within the shunt (Fig.
64.8). Contrast injection shows reux into short gastric veins (arrowheads) and the splenic vein (hollow arrow). Note that contrast is injected through the endhole of the catheter, and a more proximal balloon is inated to prevent reux.
With the balloon of the catheter inated, a sclerosant has been injected to ll the volume of the GRS and
varices (Fig. 64.9).
One month aer balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration (BRTO), contrast-enhanced CT
(Figs. 64.10 and 64.11) shows retention of lipiodol in the embolized gastric varices (arrows). ere is no residual enhancement of the GRS or varices.
Teaching Points
Indications for BRTO are bleeding or high-risk gastric varices and hepatic encephalopathy secondary to
shunt volume. Unlike TIPS, BRTO can be performed in the setting of decompensated liver function and encephalopathy, and it may even improve encephalopathy by increasing hepatopedal ow in the portal vein.
In some cases, BRTO can be performed in conjunction with TIPS or balloon-occluded antegrade transvenous
obliteration (BATO) to relieve sequela of portal hypertension.
e sclerosant is typically a mixture of 1 part ethiodol, 2 parts3% sotradechol, and 3 parts air agitated through
a three-way syringe into a liquid foam. e average injectate is approximately 30–50 cc.
Management
e balloon of the catheter is le inated for a 4- to 24-hour dwell time of the sclerosant to obliterate the shunt
and varices.
Portal vein thrombosis is a relative contraindication to BRTO because it can cause increased venous pressure
in the mesenteric veins. Other potential complications include liver failure and gastric ulcers.
Follow-up imaging with either CT, magnetic resonance, or endoscopic ultrasound is important to evaluate for
residual varices that may require additional therapy.

e right adrenal vein has been catheterized and a small amount of contrast has been injected by hand
(Fig.65.4). e adrenal gland can be recognized angiographically as a gland-like structure, which is usually triangular in appearance (triangle).
Figure 65.5 demonstrates the catheter in the le adrenal vein (hollow arrow). Reux of contrast is noted in
the le inferior phrenic vein inow (black arrow). is is a common nding with the le adrenal vein and le inferior phrenic vein draining into a common trunk prior to joining the le renal vein.
Figure 65.6 show the le adrenal gland (hollow arrow).Table 65.1 shows levels of aldosterone and cortisol in the serum, right and le adrenal veins. Elevated
cortisol levels in the adrenal vein samples help to conrm that the samples are from the adrenal glands. An aldosterone to cortisol ratio in the adrenal vein that is higher than that of serum suggests unilateral hormone production from the right adrenal adenoma.
Teaching Points
Adrenal vein sampling is performed to determine whether autonomous hormone production is unilateral or
bilateral, thereby directing therapy.
Most commonly performed for primary aldosteronism
Less commonly performed to isolate biochemically proven pheochromocytoma not visible on imaging.
While there are some exceptions, the drainage of the central adrenal veins is fairly constant. e right central
adrenal vein typically drains into the midposterior wall of the inferior vena cava, while the le central adrenal vein usually joins the inferior phrenic before entering the le renal vein.
Preprocedure computed tomography (CT) scan can be helpful in identifying the adrenal vein, expected
location of the adrenal gland, and characterization of mass lesions. It should be noted that adenomas detected on CT may not necessarily be associated with the patient’s clinical symptoms.
Comparison of the adrenal vein blood samples and peripheral blood is performed. Acortisol level at least 2–3
times that of peripheral blood conrms accurate adrenal vein sampling.
Adrenals producing aldosterone will show an aldosterone-cortisol ratio higher than that of the peripheral
blood sample.
Normal glands will result in a ratio that is equal to or less than peripheral blood.
In cases of unilateral adenoma, the contralateral normal adrenal gland may show suppressed aldosterone
secretion.
Management
Postprocedure management includes bed rest for femoral venipuncture.In cases with persistent pain aer a procedure with escalating analgesic requirements, consider intraadrenal
hemorrhage as a cause.

Findings
Alarge mass is seen in the right upper lobe (Fig. 66.3) extending into the hilum (white arrow). Of note, the
superior vena cava (SVC) is not identied and contrast is seen lling a dilated azygous venous system (white hollow arrow).
Coronal images through the chest (Fig. 66.4) demonstrate the right upper lobe mass with complete occlusion
of the SVC just distal to the conuence of the right internal jugular and subclavian veins (white hollow arrow) to the level of the mid atrium (black hollow arrow).
Venogram performed from the right internal jugular vein (Fig. 66.5) demonstrates SVC occlusion (black
hollow arrow) with lling of the azygous and accessory hemiazygous systems (white arrows).
Placement of an SVC stent (Fig. 66.6, black arrow) demonstrates rapid transit of contrast into the right atrium
(white arrow). Note that the azygous and hemiazygous systems no longer ll.

Symptoms of SVC syndrome include dyspnea, facial and/or upper-extremity swelling, cough, stridor, chest
pain, or cyanosis.
e most common cause of SVC syndrome is malignancy, with lung cancer being the most common.Benign causes of SVC syndrome include catheter-related stenosis and granulomatous mediastinitis and
radiation therapy.
Primary patency is 70%–80% in 6months, with secondary patency ~95% at 6months.
Management
First-line therapy for acute malignant SVC syndrome is stenting with concomitant radiation and/or
chemotherapy. Benign disease may be treated with balloon venoplasty and/or stent placement.
Venous thrombolysis, either mechanical or chemical, may need to be performed prior to stenting if acute
thrombus is present.
Most patients experience complete resolution of symptoms within 1–3days aer stenting.Use of postprocedure anticoagulation/antiplatelet is controversial.Complications include stent migration and cardiac tamponade due to rupture of the SVC into the
pericardium.
