| Popis: | Twenty patients with primary aldosteronism were studied by adrenal arteriography, venography, and adrenal vein aldosterone assay. Selective arteriography was successfully performed in 78% of the patients, correctly diagnosing the lesion in 60%. Selective venography was accomplished bilaterally in all but one patient; however, 3 adrenal ruptures occurred during the procedure. Adrenal vein assay, the best single method, was 85% accurate, but 2 tumors easily visible at angiography were missed by this routine. The authors recommend the use of a combination of these 3 techniques, which gave 95% accuracy in localizing aldosteronomas. |
