Conclusions: We review VBS and venography in patients with clinical and laboratory evidence of endocrine tumor(s) and a workup, and "noninvasive" imaging nondiagnostic. VBS accurately localize endocrine tumors in those patients. Furthermore, some tumors are not hormone-producing: "incidentalomas." VBS is simple, safe, easy, must be "resuscitated," revisited, and included in the training of young IRs.
Retained fibrin sheaths were seen on CT in a substantial minority of patients after CVC removal; nearly half of them were calcified. They were more common in women and associated with venous occlusion.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
