Adrenal Venous Sampling in Primary Aldosteronism: The Usefulness of Contralateral Suppression Index
Adrenal venous sampling (AVS) is the gold standard test to differentiate the unilateral from the bilateral form in patients with primary aldosteronism (PA) although it may be a difficult procedure, especially the successful cannulation of the right adrenal vein. In this report, we describe a 49-year...
