(1) Age, sex, height, weight, serum cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, creatinine, glomerular filtration rate, uric acid, and glycated hemoglobin were assessed at baseline. (2) Collected indicators reflecting PA characteristics, including systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), antihypertensive drugs, and biochemical indicators (plasma potassium, aldosterone, and renin).Plasma renin, aldosterone, and aldosterone-renin ratio levels were assessed at baseline by a clinical laboratory (ACM Global Laboratories, Rochester, NY, USA). Patients abstained from all antihypertensive medications and were requested to fast prior to testing. Patients must be out of bed for at least 2 hours after resting and quietly sitting for a minimum of 5 minutes but preferably 30 minutes before blood was sampled.The time and the patient's position (standing, sitting, or lying) at the time of blood collection were recorded. Later, the patient was asked to take the blood sample at the same time (±2 hours) and in the same position. (3) The primary efficacy of multipath AVS was evaluated by the success rate of unilateral intubation. Statistics of AVS intraoperative parameters were used to evaluate the minor efficacy of multipath AVS, including unilateral fluoroscopy time, total fluoroscopy time, contrast agent dosage, and operation cost. (4) The safety analysis between multipath AVS and single-path AVS included intraoperative complications (such as vascular dissection and vascular rupture) and postoperative complications (such as fever, hematoma, limb thrombosis, and death).
