Parathyroid hormone venous sampling prior to reoperation for primary hyperparathyroidism.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:The surgical cure rate for primary hyperparathyroidismis greater than 95%. For those who have recurrent or persistent disease, preoperative localization improves reoperation success rates. Selective parathyroid venous sampling (SPVS) for intact parathyroid hormone is particularly useful when non-invasive localization techniques are negative or inconclusive. METHODS:We present all known cases (n = 13)between 1994 and 2002 who had venous sampling for localization a tour institution prior to reoperation for recurrent or persistent primary hyperparathyroidism. Comparison was made with non-invasive localization procedures. Results of invasive and non-invasive localization were correlated with surgical findings. RESULTS:Of the nine reoperated cases, eight had positive correlations between SPVS and operative findings and histopathology. SPVS did not reveal the parathyroid hormone source in one case with negative non-invasive localization procedures. Comparisons between SPVS,computerized tomography (CT), and parathyroid scintigraphy (MIBI)as expressed in terms of true positive (TP), false positive (FP)and false negative (FN) were: SPVS - TP88.8%, FP 0%, FN 11.1%; CT - TP22.2%, FP 22.2%, FN 55.5%; and MIBI - TP33.3%, FP 0%, FN 66.6%. At least seven of the nine operated cases have been cured; another remained normocalcaemic 2 weeks after subtotal parathyroidectomy. CONCLUSION:In our institution SPVS has proven to be a valuable tool in cases with recurrent or persistent primary hyperparathyroidism and negative non-invasive localization procedures.
