Factors Associated with Resolution of Hypertension after Adrenalectomy in Patients with Primary Aldosteronism

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to investigate the factors associated with resolution of hypertension after adrenalectomy in patients with primary aldosteronism. A secondary aim was to describe our use of the contralateral ratio in adrenal venous sampling (AVS) in the setting of suboptimal successful cannulation rates. METHODS: A retrospective review of patients who underwent AVS followed by unilateral adrenalectomy for primary aldosteronism was performed. RESULTS: =0.03). CONCLUSION: A shorter duration of hypertension was significantly associated with resolution of hypertension after adrenalectomy in patients with primary aldosteronism.
