Technical difficulties with this procedure may be overcome by monitoring cortisol concentrations in the different sampling sites during catheterization.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Methods: We applied a rapid automated cortisol assay performed on a benchtop immunoassay analyzer near the operating suite during the catheterization procedures in 5 hypertensive patients. A mean of 7.8 samples (range, 5\u201313) were collected from the vena cava as well as from right and left adrenal veins.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Results: Cortisol concentrations measured by the rapid assay and by our routine method were comparable. Two of 5 patients were found to be affected by an aldosterone-producing adenoma and 3 of 5 by a bilateral adrenal hyperplasia. Cortisol determination during the adrenal vein sampling procedure allowed a successful cannulation in all patients, including a patient in whom it was necessary to cannulate 9 different candidate right adrenal veins before finding the correct one.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Conclusions: Intraoperative cortisol assays appeared safe, reproducible, simple to perform, rapid, and cost-effective. The approach represents a service-oriented model for the laboratory and can provide valuable and timely information for improving the success rate of adrenal vein catheterization.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1373\/clinchem.2007.092080","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,9,28]],"date-time":"2007-09-28T00:34:50Z","timestamp":1190939690000},"page":"1968-1971","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":90,"title":["Rapid Cortisol Assay during Adrenal Vein Sampling in Patients with Primary Aldosteronism"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"53","author":[{"given":"Giulio","family":"Mengozzi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Chemistry Laboratory and Divisions of Radiology,"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Denis","family":"Rossato","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chiara","family":"Bertello","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Internal Medicine and Hypertension, and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Corrado","family":"Garrone","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Surgery, University of Torino, Torino, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alberto","family":"Milan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Internal Medicine and Hypertension, and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Roberto","family":"Pagni","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Chemistry Laboratory and Divisions of Radiology,"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Franco","family":"Veglio","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Internal Medicine and Hypertension, and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Paolo","family":"Mulatero","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Internal Medicine and Hypertension, and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,11,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2020022802415018100_R1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Carter AB, Howanitz PJ.
