100 cases of primary aldosteronism: careful choice of patients for surgery using adrenal venous sampling and CT imaging results in excellent blood pressure and potassium outcomes

Objective Patients with primary aldosteronism (PA) who are suitable for surgery should undergo adrenal computerised tomography (CT) and adrenal venous sampling (AVS). A retrospective study was performed of 100 patients with PA. We determined the optimal AVS lateralisation ratio for unilateral disease and reviewed adrenalectomy outcomes evaluating which characteristics predicted hypertension cure.
