The outcomes of transcatheter adrenal ablation in patients with primary aldosteronism: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The use of transcatheter adrenal ablation as an alternative treatment for primary aldosteronism (PA) patients remains a subject of debate, with outcomes varying widely across existing studies. This meta-analysis aims to evaluate the results of adrenal ablation and estimate the effectiveness and safety of this therapeutic approach.

Methods

A comprehensive search was conducted across PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases for studies published up to October 2022. Outcomes analyzed included the combined clinical success rate, biochemical success rate, and complication rate, which were assessed using a random-effects model.

Results

Five studies, comprising 234 PA patients, were included in the analysis. The combined clinical success rate was 74% (95% CI
