Venous sampling encompasses a rapidly growing service line with high demand. The most common procedure in this service line, adrenal vein sampling (AVS), remains technically challenging for many interventional radiologists. Nevertheless, as many as 1 in 5 patients with hypertension may have primary hyperaldosteronism (Brown 2020). Practice building, tips, and tricks with be discussed as well as service lines for adrenal Cushing's, occult reninomas, parathyroid tumors, and occult neuroendocrine tumors.

Learning Objectives:

Upon completion, the participant will understand the importance of venous sampling procedures in proving critical diagnostic information for patients with common and uncommon hormone-producing lesions.
Upon completion, the participant will be able to perform venous sampling procedures using the latest techniques to improve efficacy and safety.
Upon completion, the participant will understand how to process sampling results and integrate analysis into a comprehensive venous sampling service line.
