Duplicated adrenal veins in primary aldosteronism misdiagnosed with ectopic aldosteronoma due to apparent bilateral aldosterone suppression

CONCLUSION: AVS is the gold standard accepted for PA subtyping, but sometimes when apparent bilateral aldosterone suppression is present, it can give ambiguous results. Duplicated right adrenal veins, may impact results, thus, AVS may not accurately provide evidence of unilateral hypersecretion for all PA patients. Repeat AVS or adrenal surgery can provide worthwhile diagnostic conclusions.PMID:37183447 | DOI:10.1080/08037051.2023.2209664
