About this trial
This is a prospective, single-center, single-arm study evaluating endoscopic ultrasound-guided ethanol ablation for left-sided aldosterone-producing adenoma. Eligible participants will receive the ablation procedure and be followed for safety, imaging response, biochemical remission, and clinical remission. The study is expected to enroll 30 participants.

Treatments tested in this trial
Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Ethanol Ablation
Procedure/SurgeryParticipants with left-sided aldosterone-producing adenoma undergo endoscopic ultrasound-guided ethanol ablation under real-time endoscopic ultrasound guidance.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Procedure-related major adverse events
Assessment of predefined procedure-related major adverse events occurring within 24-48 hours after endoscopic ultrasound-guided ethanol ablation, including imaging-confirmed major bleeding, gastrointestinal perforation, major organ infarction, and hypertensive urgency or emergency (systolic blood pressure ≥180 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥120 mmHg).
Secondary outcomes
Complete tumor ablation on imaging
Complete radiologic ablation will be assessed by PET/CT at 6 months after endoscopic ultrasound-guided ethanol ablation. Complete ablation is defined as no abnormal radiotracer uptake in the treated adrenal lesion.
Complete biochemical remission rate
The proportion of participants with complete biochemical remission at 6 months after endoscopic ultrasound-guided ethanol ablation will be assessed according to the PASO consensus criteria. Complete biochemical remission is defined as normalization of serum potassium and aldosterone-to-renin ratio, or normalization of serum potassium with suppressed aldosterone secretion on confirmatory testing, defined as post-SSIT aldosterone \<80 pg/mL or post-CCT aldosterone \<110 pg/mL.
Complete clinical remission rate
The proportion of participants with complete clinical remission at 6 months after endoscopic ultrasound-guided ethanol ablation will be assessed according to the PASO consensus criteria. Complete clinical remission is defined as normal blood pressure without any antihypertensive medication.
