Prognosis of adrenalectomy guided by computed tomography versus adrenal vein sampling in patients with primary aldosteronism: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Yi Yan et al.

Summary: Adrenal vein sampling (AVS) is recommended as the gold standard for patients with unilateral subtypes of primary aldosteronism. Compared with computed tomography (CT), AVS shows better prognosis by increasing the possibility of complete biochemical success.

Utility of Epinephrine Levels in Determining Adrenal Vein Cannulation During Adrenal Venous Sampling for Primary Aldosteronism

Sophie Dream et al.

Summary: This study investigates the utility of AV epinephrine levels in assessing successful AV cannulation for patients with primary aldosteronism. The results show that measuring epinephrine levels can help determine the success of AV catheter placement during AVS, thereby preventing unnecessary repeat AVS.

Anatomical Variations of the Left Adrenal Vein Encountered During Venous Sampling

Yuko Sato et al.

Summary: The study aimed to identify anatomical variations in the left adrenal vein and assess the role of preprocedural contrast-enhanced CT planning. It was found that the detection rate of the confluence of the left inferior phrenic vein and the LAV was high using contrast-enhanced CT, while the detection rate of the last tributary flowing into the LAV was low. Understanding these anatomical variations can help prevent misleading results during AVS procedures.

Eleftheria Gkaniatsa et al.

Summary: The study found that imaging studies inaccurately predicted laterality in a significant number of young patients with PA. In contrast to current clinical guidelines, the results support the use of AVS for subtype evaluation in young adults with PA, including patients 35 years or younger.

Adrenocorticotropic Hormone-Stimulated Adrenal Venous Sampling Underestimates Surgically Curable Primary Aldosteronism: A Retrospective Cohort Study and Review of Contemporary Studies

Nicholas Yozamp et al.

Summary: ACTH stimulation during adrenal venous sampling for primary aldosteronism can improve successful catheterization rates but may lead to decreased lateralization rates and potentially underestimate surgically remediable disease. Studies over the past 5 years have shown approximately 25% discordance in lateralization rates between unstimulated and stimulated sampling. The role of ACTH should primarily be limited to enhancing selectivity during adrenal venous sampling.

Giulio Ceolotto et al.

Summary: This study compared the selectivity index of androstenedione, metanephrine, and normetanephrine with cortisol in patients with primary aldosteronism, finding that androstenedione and metanephrine outperformed cortisol in verifying the success of adrenal vein sampling.

Composite Cardiovascular Outcomes in Patients With Primary Aldosteronism Undergoing Medical Versus Surgical Treatment: A Meta-Analysis

Wei-Chieh Huang et al.

Summary: Meta-analyses confirmed the superior performance of surgical treatment over medical treatment in terms of lower incidences of composite cardiovascular outcomes and non-cure of hypertension among patients with primary aldosteronism (PA). Therefore, adrenalectomy can now be concluded as the treatment of choice for lateralized PA.

Effect of Adrenocorticotropic Hormone Stimulation During Simultaneous Bilateral Adrenal Vein Sampling in Primary Aldosteronism

Wei Liu et al.

Summary: The study demonstrated that ACTH stimulation had significant effects on increasing catheterization selectivity in simultaneous bilateral AVS, reducing the rate of unsuccessful catheterization. Lateralization changes were observed in patients after ACTH stimulation, with those showing consistent lateralization exhibiting a more severe phenotype.

Development of [18F]AldoView as the First Highly Selective Aldosterone Synthase PET Tracer for Imaging of Primary Hyperaldosteronism

Kerstin Sander et al.

Summary: The study synthesized a fluorine-18 labeled aldosterone synthase inhibitor, [F-18]AldoView, and demonstrated its potential for detecting APAs in patients with PHA through imaging in mice and adrenal tissue. The tracer showed rapid distribution and clearance with binding patterns consistent with aldosterone-producing cell clusters.

Adrenal vein sampling: technique and protocol, a systematic review

Keith B. Quencer

Summary: Primary aldosteronism is the leading cause of secondary hypertension worldwide, and determining whether aldosterone production is unilateral or bilateral is crucial for treatment decisions. Adrenal vein sampling is considered the most reliable method for this determination, though success can be challenging. Multiple protocols exist for improving procedural success, with their rationale and drawbacks reviewed in this article.
