Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry Outperforms Radioimmunoassay in Guiding Surgical Decisions Based on Adrenal Venous Sampling in Primary Aldosteronism [PDF]
Background Adrenal venous sampling (AVS) is essential for diagnosing unilateral aldosterone oversecretion in primary aldosteronism (PA). Traditionally, AVS relies on radioimmunoassay (RIA) to measure plasma aldosterone concentration (PAC), although RIA ...

Adrenal Venous Sampling in Young Patients with Primary Aldosteronism. Extravagance or Irreplaceable?
CONTEXT Current clinical guidelines suggest that adrenal venous sampling (AVS) may not be mandatory in young patients with primary aldosteronism (PA) and a solitary adrenal adenoma on imaging.

Adrenal venous sampling in the diagnostic workup of primary aldosteronism. [PDF]
Primary aldosteronism (PA) is the primary cause of secondary hypertension. The prevalence of PA has probably been underestimated in the past and recent studies suggest that PA could be present in up to 10% of patients suffering from hypertension. Aldosterone excess in PA can be caused by unilateral adrenal disease, usually adrenal adenoma, or bilateral

Identifying primary aldosteronism patients who require adrenal venous sampling: a multi-center study [PDF]
Adrenal venous sampling (AVS) is crucial for subtyping primary aldosteronism (PA) to explore the possibility of curing hypertension. Because AVS availability is limited, efforts have been made to develop strategies to bypass it.

Anatomical Variations Encountered during Adrenal Venous Sampling: A Report of Three Case Series and Review of Literature [PDF]
Primary aldosteronism is a group of disorders in which the autonomous secretion of aldosterone is associated with hypertension and hypokalemia. It is crucial to determine the laterality of aldosterone hypersecretion because treatment options differ ...

Preoperative supine time for adrenal venous sampling: a prospective randomized controlled trial [PDF]
Background Primary aldosteronism (P.A.) is the most common form of secondary hypertension, accounting for 5% of hypertensive patients and 17–23% of patients with resistant hypertension. Compared to primary hypertension, P.A. is more prone to cause severe

Visualization of Right Adrenal Vein in Non‐Contrast‐Enhanced MDCT and Its Guiding Role for Right Adrenal Venous Sampling [PDF]
This study aimed to evaluate the visualization of right adrenal vein (RAV) in non‐contrast‐enhanced multi‐detector computed tomography (MDCT) and its guiding role for right adrenal venous sampling (AVS) in patients with primary aldosteronism (PA).
