| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Segmental venous sampling is essential for diagnosis and localization of aldosterone producing adenomas. In segmental adrenal venous sampling (S-AVS), blood samples are obtained with microcatheters inserted into the target venous tributary. However, it sometimes happen that blood samples cannot be obtained through catheters. In such cases, it is assumed that suction pressure deforms venous wall, then catheter tip is considered to be occluded. To our knowledge, there has been no study concerning hemodynamics in venous catheter blood sampling. The purpose of this study is to simulate the blood flow in venous blood sampling using synthetic very small blood vessel or Computational Fluid Dynamics method and to search the catheter tip shape suitable for the procedure.
The prototype of microcatheter whose tip was shaped suitable for S-AVS was created. And then, the performance of the microcatheter was evaluated in an animal study.
