Association of Adrenal Venous Sampling With Outcomes in Primary Aldosteronism for Unilateral Adenomas.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Adrenal venous sampling is recommended prior to adrenalectomy for all patients with hyperaldosteronism; however, cross-sectional imaging resolution continues to improve, while the procedure remains invasive and technically difficult. Therefore, certain patients may benefit from advancing straight to surgery.

Objective

To determine whether clinical and biochemical resolution varied for patients with primary aldosteronism with unilateral adenomas who underwent adrenal venous sampling vs those who proceeded to surgery based on imaging alone.

Design, setting, and participants

Retrospective, international cohort study of patients treated at 3 tertiary medical centers from 2004 to 2019, with a median follow-up of approximately 6 months. A total of 217 patients we
