About this trial

Primary aldosteronism (PA) is a major cause of secondary hypertension, yet its optimal diagnosis and management remain challenging. This study comprehensively evaluates adrenal venous sampling (AVS), addressing key clinical, technical, and methodological issues, and aims to clarify the relationship between AVS-guided management and long-term clinical and biochemical outcomes to optimize patient care and prognosis.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patients with confirmed primary aldosteronism;

Patients undergoing adrenal venous sampling for subtype classification of primary aldosteronism.

Disqualifiers

Severe comorbidity, including stroke, myocardial infarction, heart failure, severe valvular heart disease, liver cirrhosis, and metastatic tumor within the previous 3 months;

An estimated glomerular filtration rate <45 ml/min/1.73 m2, or serum creatinine >176 μmol/L;

Patients who refuse adrenalectomy;

Suspected of having an adrenocortical carcinoma;

Trial population

All patients with confirmed primary aldosteronism underwent adrenal venous sampling.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) at 1-year follow-up

Incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) at 1-year follow-up, including stroke, heart failure, severe arrhythmias, renal failure, myocardial infarction, and death.

Time frame
1 year after AVS procedure

Secondary outcomes

1

The success rate of left adrenal venous sampling

Successful sampling will be defined by high selectivity index (cortisol in the adrenal vein/cortisol in inferior vena cava \>2 without ACTH simulation)

Time frame
At AVS procedure
2

The success rate of right adrenal venous sampling

Successful sampling will be defined by high selectivity index (cortisol in the adrenal vein/cortisol in inferior vena cava \>2 without ACTH simulation)

Time frame
At AVS procedure
3

The success rate of bilateral adrenal venous sampling

Successful sampling will be defined by high selectivity index (cortisol in the adrenal vein/cortisol in inferior vena cava \>2 without ACTH simulation)

Time frame
At AVS procedure
4
