Implication

Case illustrates successful adrenal vein sampling despite anatomical variant complications, highlighting the importance of precision in identifying aldosterone sources.

Key Points

Adrenal vein sampling confirmed the source of aldosterone production, aiding in targeted treatment for hypertension.
The case involved a male patient with primary aldosteronism and an accessory hepatic vein, complicating the procedure.
Correct identification of the anatomical variant was crucial for effective adrenal vein catheterization and sampling.
Accurate imaging prior to intervention is necessary to improve the success rate of adrenal vein sampling.
