Background
Failure of cannulation of the right adrenal vein is frequent during AVS for investigation of primary aldosteronism (PA). The aldosterone:cortisol ratio of either adrenal vein compared with the inferior vena cava (AV/IVC index) has been proposed to differentiate between unilateral and bilateral disease, and aid in lateralization of unilateral disease.
Methods
