Arteriography should include selective studies of the superior mesenteric, gastroduodenal, splenic, and dorsal pancreatic arteries, if technically feasible. Selective he­patic arteriography also should be performed to identify liver metastases. A variety of catheter shapes may be used for catheterization of these vessels; the choice depends on the patient’s anatomy and the angiographer’s per­sonal preference.
The reported sensitivity of arteriography for localiza­tion of primary islet cell tumors has decreased in recent
37
years.
Older studies report a sensitivity of approximately 65%, but more recent studies suggest that fewer than half of these tumors are detected arteriographically.
54,55
This difference is probably due in part to earlier detection and in part to referral bias. On the other hand, the false-posi­tive rate is generally reported as less than 10%. The sen­sitivity of arteriography for locating primary tumors is superior to that of CT, MRI, or ultrasound when all four modalities are compared in the same patient popula-

Arterial stimulation and venous sampling
ASVS, also sometimes termed selective arterial secretin in­jection when used for gastrinomas, was first described as
a localization procedure for patients with Zollinger-El­lison syndrome; oped and refined for localization of both gastrinomas and insulinomas. and is performed as part of the arteriographic proce­dure.
In addition to the arteriographic catheter, a venous catheter is introduced via the femoral vein, and its tip is placed in the right hepatic vein. (A Simmons 1 catheter with one or two sideholes near the tip is ideal for this purpose.) A secretagogue is injected through the arterial catheter selectively into the hepatic artery, gastroduode­nal artery, splenic artery, and superior mesenteric artery successively. The hepatic artery is studied in an effort to detect metastases that may be too small to be identify with imaging studies. subjected to ASVS because this vessel usually supplies the entire pancreas and therefore has no localizing value. If an insulinoma or gastrinoma is present in the vascular territory supplied by one of these arteries, the injection of secretagogue will cause an increase in the insulin or gastrin concentration in the portal vein and subsequently in the hepatic vein. Hepatic vein samples are obtained before and at 20, 40, and 60 sec after the secretagogue injection.
Secretin is used as a secretagogue for gastrinomas. It stimulates gastrin release from gastrinomas bymodulation of adenylate cyclase activation. quires injection of 30 IU of secretin intraarterially, with

■ Hyperaldosteronism
Several endocrine syndromes caused by an excess of hor­mone may be caused by tumors or hyperplasia of the adrenal glands. Cushing syndrome, pheochromocytoma, and virilizing disorders may be diagnosed on the basis of endocrine studies and characterized or localized by cross­sectional imaging techniques. Adrenal venous sampling is usually employed only for primary hyperaldosteronism (Conn syndrome).
Clinical review
Primary hyperaldosteronism often presents with sponta­neous (or easily provoked) hypokalemia in a hyperten­sive patient; It has been estimated that hyperaldosteron­ism is present in 1 to 2% of hypertensive patients. Suggestive initial screening tests include hypokalemia in association with kaliuresis, low plasma renin activity, and a high plasma aldosterone concentration/plasma renin activity ratio. Demonstration of nonsuppressible aldoste­rone excretion in conjunction with normal cortisol excre­tion is diagnostic.
The two most common causes of primary hyperal­dosteronism are a unilateral aldosterone-producing ade­noma (APA; 54%) and bilateral adrenal hyperplasia (idiopathic hyperaldosteronism; 45%).
67
Thability to dis­tinguish between these entities is a crucial part of the endocrine evaluation, because adenomas are resected, whereas hyperplasia is treated medically.
Localization
Noninvasive laboratory and imaging studies may be used to distinguish between an APA and hyperplasia with an

accuracy of 70 to 80%, but most experts agree that bilat­eral adrenal vein sampling is the gold standard, with accuracy rates approaching 100.
68–71
In addition, several rare forms of hyperaldosteronism (e.g., unilateral pri­mary adrenal hyperplasia) are best characterized by adre­nal venous sampling because their cross-sectional imag­ing appearance may be confusing.
68
Patients who have classic endocrine studies indicating an APA and a unilateral, low attenuation mass on CT may undergo adrenalectomy without the need for adre­nal venous sampling. Bilateral adrenal venous sampling is indicated in patients with clinical and laboratory evi­dence of primary hyperaldosteronism but no clear CT or MRI demonstration of unilateral surgical disease. These patients often have bilateral adrenal abnormalities on imaging studies, but these abnormalities are frequently unrelated to the endocrine disorder. The CT diagnosis of adrenal hyperplasia is not reliable in patients with hyperaldosteronism.
69–72
In patients with apparent bi­lateral adrenal disease, venous sampling provides physi­ologic data that permit identification of the cause of the syndrome without resorting to analysis of gland mor­phology.
Anatomy
Adrenal venous anatomy is fairly constant (Fig. 34-8). The left adrenal vein virtually always arises from the left renal vein at the left lateral margin of the vertebral col­umn. In the uncommon case of a retroaortic left renal vein, the adrenal vein arises either from the anomalous renal vein or, rarely, directly from the inferior vena cava (IVC). On the right side, the adrenal vein empties di­rectly into the posterior IVC and is usually both small and quite short (5–8 mm), making selective catheterization for sampling challenging (Fig. 34-9).
68
It can be difficult to locate and is somewhat more variable in position than the left adrenal vein.
Venous sampling
The procedure consists of simultaneous sampling from a femoral vein sheath and from catheters selectively placed in the adrenal veins via ipsilateral femoral vein punctures, both before and after the intravenous administration of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). The left adrenal vein is catheterized first. A 4 or 5 Fr Weinberg or Beren­stein catheter is guided into the left renal vein with the help of a tip-deflecting wire. Once in the renal vein, the catheter tip usually encounters the orifice of the left adrenal vein at the level of the left lateral margin of the vertebral column. A 4 Fr straight polyethylene catheter, shaped with the use of the steam into an S-curve, may be
used instead. Alternatively, a 5 Fr Simmons I catheter placed in the left renal vein will act as a guiding catheter to direct a microcatheter into the left adrenal vein when gentle traction is placed on the guiding catheter to direct its tip superiorly. The left inferior phrenic vein also drains into the left adrenal vein. The catheter tip should not be advanced into the inferior phrenic vein because samples from this catheter will not contain blood from the left adrenal gland.
Small, gentle hand injections of contrast material are used to verify catheter position. No attempt should be made to opacify the gland or to outline tumors. Diagnos­tic retrograde venography, performed commonly in the past, is no longer used, because this procedure may cause hemorrhage or infarction as a result of rupture of small adrenal venous radicals. This might seem a good way to ablate the adrenal gland, but it is not a reliable method for infarcting the gland. Ethanol should not be used for adrenal ablation either, because ethanol injection into the adrenal artery in monkeys produces immediate and severe hypertension as well as arrhythmias.
73
The right adrenal vein is shorter than the left and trifur­cates close to its orifice into the IVC. The tip of a standard Mikaelsson orSimmons catheter often occludesthe trifur­cation once it is adequately seated in the right adrenal vein, which prevents aspiration of right adrenal venous effluent and reduces the accuracy of the study. A single hole may be punched 3 to 4 mm from the catheter tip to permit collection of venous effluent at the point where the right adrenal vein joins the IVC.
68
Using this modified technique when necessary, collection from both adrenals is consistently possible.
After collection of baseline samples from both adrenal veins and the femoral vein sheath, ACTH is administered intravenously in the form of a 25 mcg bolus followed by an infusion of 25 mcg in 500 mL of normal saline at a rate of 150 to 200 mL/hr. (ACTH stimulates release of aldos­terone as well as cortisol.) Repeat samples are obtained 15 minutes after the start of the infusion. Then the ACTH infusion is discontinued. All samples are submitted for assay of both aldosterone and cortisol.
Right adrenal vein samples will be diluted to an un­known degree by inclusion of IVC blood. To correct for this dilution, aldosterone/cortisol (A/C) ratios are used. The decrease in right adrenal aldosterone levels resulting from dilution should be equal in proportion to the de­crease in cortisol levels. Cortisol production by each ad­renal gland is assumed to be equal. Use of the A/C ratio corrects for any dilution and allows comparison of right and left adrenal vein samples.
Interpretation of the results is based on the physiologic suppression of aldosterone production in the adrenal gland contralateral to an APA. If an APA is present, the A/C ratio in the contralateral gland will be below back-

ground levels, as indicated by the sample obtained from the femoral vein sheath, whereas the A/C ratio from the ipsilateral gland will be much greater than the back­ground. On the other hand, in patients with bilateral hyperplasia, A/C ratios in both adrenals are comparable because neither is suppressed. The A/C ratios from both adrenal glands will be greater than that in the femoral vein sheath sample. Following ACTH stimulation in a patient with an APA, both cortisol and aldosterone levels increase significantly on the side with the adenoma,
FIGURE 34-8. Anatomy of the adrenal veins. The drawing demonstrates the typical anatomy. When sampling the left adrenal vein, it is important to ensure that the catheter tip is not in the left inferior phrenic vein, or adrenal venous blood will not be obtained. 1, inferior vena cava; 2, common iliac; 3, internal iliac; 4, renal; 5, adrenal; 6, gonadal; 7, inferior phrenic.
whereas there is a rise in cortisol but only a minimal increase in aldosterone in the contralateral suppressed gland. This further increases the difference in A/C ratio between the two adrenal glands. In bilateral hyperplasia, however, aldosterone and cortisol levels from both adre­nal glands increase after ACTH stimulation, and the A/C ratios remain comparable between the two glands. When one gland shows suppressed aldosterone production be­fore ACTH stimulation and a reduced aldosterone re­sponse (and normal cortisol response) following ACTH

Central Venous Access
MATTHEW A. MAURO AND STEVEN E. BLACK
Modern medical care has rapidly expanded the need for the placement of catheters into the central venous circulation for long periods. Long-term central venous access is commonly used for hemodialysis, plasmapher­esis, chemotherapy, long-term antibiotic therapy, blood drawing, parenteral nutrition, and analgesics. Outpatient dialysis centers, ambulatory chemotherapy, hospices, home health care, and other commercial enterprises have grown dramatically as an indirect result of these devices.

The traditional role for radiologists was to be involved in pre­operative venography, catheter relocation, and intravas­cular catheter fragment retrieval. More recently, the in­terventional radiologist’s role has expanded to include complex access cases and the development of an inde­pendent venous access service where they function as the primary operator in the placement and management of all long-term devices.
technology, in addition to acquired catheterization skills and a commitment to patient care, place interventional radiologists in a strong position to become an important part of this service. The development of a successful venous access service requires a knowledge of the avail­able devices and their indications, insertion and removal techniques, and the management of complications relat­ing to these devices.

■ Access Devices
Modern central venous access devices are available in many sizes and forms. Regardless of these differences, they all result in the positioning of a catheter in the cen­tral venous circulation: the superior vena cava (SVC), in­ferior vena cava (IVC), or right atrium. Early catheters were made of polyethylene and frequently were compli­cated by thrombosis and infection. composed of either silicone rubber or polyurethane at­tached to either an external connector or an implantable port. Silicone is a soft material that has a high coefficient of friction, making catheters composed of this material difficult to use with over-the-guidewire techniques when conventional stainless steel guidewires are used. Newer hydrophilic guidewires can be used with this material. Silicone catheters have been used in the central venous system since the early 1970s and are extremely biocompat­ible and safe. Polyurethane is a newer material that is stronger than silicone, which allows a catheter to have a larger internal diameter while maintaining the same outer diameter. Polyurethane also can be used with con­ventional guidewires.
Catheters have either a simple end-hole, a valved tip, or a staggered tip. Conventional end-hole catheters are the most common variety and are available with single, dual, or triple lumen. These catheters can be trimmed at the tip for proper sizing. signed slits just proximal to a closed tip, allowing blood to be withdrawn and solutions to be infused but, when not in use, will not allow blood to enter the catheter. The poten­tial advantage of these types of catheters is that they do

not require routine heparinization to prevent catheter thrombosis. These devices can only be trimmed at the hub and therefore have a removable external connector. Staggered-tip catheters are dual-lumen devices designed for treatments requiring simultaneous rapid aspiration and infusions (pheresis, hemodialysis) with limited ad­mixture. These devices cannot be trimmed from either the tip or hub and therefore are available in multiple lengths to fit the individual patient’s anatomy.
Central venous devices can be separated into peripher­ally inserted central catheters (PICC), chest-wall external catheters (nontunnelled and tunnelled), and subcutane­ous ports (chest wall and extremity) (Figs. 35-1 through 35-3).
PICCs allow external access and are inserted via an upper extremity vein (see Fig. 35-1 and Table 35-1). Be­cause they are inserted peripherally, they carry a lower procedural risk than do centrally inserted catheters and

may be preferred by patients who dislike having catheters on their chest.

In many institutions, PICCs are placed at the bedside by trained nurses; however, for patients with venous occlusions from previous venipunctures and in­travenous lines, blind placement of these devices is fre­quently unsuccessful. Ultrasound or venography often will allow successful placement by the interventional radi­ologists.

Chest wall catheters
Nontunnelled
Chest-wall external catheters ser ve many needs. Acute­care catheters are tapered, nontunnelled catheters that are placed routinely in the units and on the floors for relatively short periods (i.e., days to weeks). In cases where access is difficult (e.g., obesity, coagulopathy, ve­nous thromboses), the interventional radiologist may be asked to place these devices. Nontapered, nontunnelled chest wall external catheters are also available with a single or dual lumen and intended for intermediate­term care (i.e., several weeks to several months) (see Fig.
)

35-1).
Because they are nontapered and composed of
silicone, they are more difficult to insert than the acute-
care catheter and typically are placed near the surgeon or interventional radiologist.
Tunnelled
All tunnelled chest-wall catheters have a small-circumfer­ence Dacron cuff attached to the shaft that is positioned within the subcutaneous tunnel. Subcutaneous tunnel­ling provides mechanical stability and protects against infection from the skin. The Dacron cuff allows ingrowth of fibrous tissue, which secures the catheter within the tract (4–6 weeks) thus creating a long-term device (i.e., months to years).
