This study aimed to evaluate the guiding role of left adrenal vein (LAV) for right adrenal venous sampling (AVS). A total of 347 patients who were diagnosed with primary aldosteronism (PA) and underwent successful AVS procedures from January 2020 to July 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the different quadrant position of the orifice of right adrenal vein (RAV), the area where the orifice of RAV is located is divided into three areas: A, B, and C and the area A is further subdivided into A1, A2, and A3 areas.

Context: Adrenal venous sampling (AVS) is considered the gold standard for differentiating unilateral and bilateral forms of primary aldosteronism. Currently, almost all AVS procedures are performed via femoral vein access.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the success rate and safety of AVS via an antecubital approach.

Purpose: Endovascular data on patients with coexistent renal artery stenosis (RAS) and renal artery aneurysm (RAA) caused by fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) are scarce, and the outcomes from RAS-specific treatment on RAA remain unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of RAS-specific endovascular management in patients with coexisting RAA caused by FMD.

Materials And Methods: Clinical and endovascular data on 19 patients with coexistent RAS and RAA caused by FMD who underwent RAS-specific endovascular therapy were analyzed prospectively.

Superselective adrenal arterial embolization (SAAE) appears to be beneficial in primary aldosteronism (PA) patients with lateralized aldosterone secretion (unilateral PA). As confirmed by adrenal vein sampling (AVS), nearly 40% of PA patients would be PA without lateralized aldosterone secretion (bilateral PA). We aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of SAAE on bilateral PA.

Delayed repair is a serious public health concern for diabetic populations. Intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) and Lymphocyte function-associated antigen 1 (LFA-1) play important roles in orchestrating the repair process. However, little is known about their effects on endothelial cell (EC) proliferation and neutrophil activity in subjects with hyperglycemia (HG).

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficiency of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) with selective stenting treating Chinese patients with renal artery stenosis (RAS) due to fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD).

Background: Endovascular data of patients with RAS caused by FMD are scarce in China.

Methods: Clinical data of 105 hypertensive patients with RAS caused by FMD underwent endovascular therapy at a single-site between June 2001 and October 2018 were analyzed retrospectively.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of stenting on blood pressure in hypertensive patients with symptomatic proximal subclavian or vertebral artery stenosis.

Background: Whether posterior circulation revascularization could reduce blood pressure in hypertensive patients with posterior circulation hypoperfusion has not been investigated in humans.

Methods: A total of 48 patients with essential hypertension (33 males; mean age 63.

Objectives: To evaluate the safety and feasibility of simultaneous endovascular therapy for supra-arch multivessel stenosis.

Background: Limited data are currently available on simultaneous intervention for supra-arch multivessel stenosis because of concerns regarding the high incidence of procedure-related complications.

Methods: From January 2005 to December 2012, the clinical data of 256 consecutive inpatients who underwent simultaneous intervention for supra-arch multivessel stenosis were retrospectively analyzed.

Article Synopsis
  • A study analyzed time trends in the causes of renal artery stenosis (RAS) over 18 years, focusing on data from the China Center for Cardiovascular Disease.
  • Out of 2905 patients, the main causes identified were atherosclerosis (82.4%), Takayasu arteritis (11.9%), and fibromuscular dysplasia (4.3%).
  • The findings revealed that the proportion of RAS due to atherosclerosis increased over time, while cases related to Takayasu arteritis decreased, with fibromuscular dysplasia remaining stable throughout the study period.

Purpose: To compare the nephrotoxic effects of iodixanol and iopamidol in patients undergoing peripheral angiography.

Methods: Patients scheduled for peripheral angiography were randomly assigned to the iodixanol group (n = 463) and iopamidol group (n = 458). The primary endpoint was the incidence of contrast associated acute kidney injury (CA-AKI), which was defined as an increase ≥ 25% or ≥ 44.

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate 30-day and long-term clinical outcomes and influencing factors of in-stent restenosis (ISR) after stenting for symptomatic stenosis of the vertebral V1 segment.

Methods: The clinical and follow-up data of 301 consecutive patients (mean age, 64 ± 8 years; 252 men) with symptomatic V1 stenosis who underwent stenting at the Fuwai Hospital between January 2010 and June 2016 were collected retrospectively. The 30-day and long-term follow-up of stroke and death after stenting and the recurrence of symptoms, ISR, and repeated revascularization were assessed.
