Adrenal Vein Sampling in the Management of Primary Aldosteronism: The Added Value of Intraprocedural Cortisol Assessment

CONCLUSIONS: The lack of effective alternatives in subtyping primary aldosteronism highlights the need to improve the success rate of adrenal vein sampling.

Its addition to this procedure protocol should be considered, especially in centers with a low success rate.PMID:38156095 | PMC:PMC10754635 | DOI:10.1155/2023/5563881
