Abstract
The percutaneous transjugular route to adrenal venography is proposed. It is believed to make left adrenal venography[See figure in the pdf file]particularly easy. The safety of the low pressure jugular system, especially for outpatient studies, is stressed. The relative safety of the soft tapered polyethylene catheter and adjustability of the Muller guide deflector handle and wire cannot be overemphasized.With our present capabilities, venography is better than arteriography in demonstrating adrenal detail. Using venography it should now be possible to detect glandular hyperplasia and intraglandular masses, even though small and avascular.Keywords
