Catecholamine levels during adrenal artery embolization
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial measures hormone levels in blood during a procedure to treat high blood pressure caused by an adrenal gland problem. It may help doctors understand how the body responds during treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have primary aldosteronism, a condition where your adrenal glands make too much of a hormone that raises blood pressure
- Your blood pressure is above normal, either at the doctor's office or during a 24-hour check
- A CT scan shows changes in your adrenal glands like thickening or small lumps
- You have had high blood pressure for at least 6 months
- You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant in the next year

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a procedure that blocks tiny arteries in the adrenal gland to treat high blood pressure and low potassium caused by aldosteronism. It may be an option if you cannot take medications or cannot have surgery.
This study compares two treatments for primary aldosteronism (a condition causing high blood pressure due to an adrenal gland issue). One treatment is a minimally invasive procedure called superselective embolization, and the other is keyhole surgery. This trial aims to see which is better and safer for patients.
This trial studies whether a specific treatment (related to spironolactone/aldosterone support) can improve how well your blood vessels work in people with primary aldosteronism. It may help reduce blood pressure risk by improving blood vessel health.
This trial tests whether a treatment called SAAE can improve “ventricular remodeling,” meaning changes in the heart muscle, in people with primary aldosteronism (PA). It may help the heart work more efficiently by targeting the cause of high aldosterone levels.
This trial tests whether using one small tube (catheter) in a vein in the arm is as effective as using two tubes to collect blood from the adrenal glands to help diagnose high blood pressure caused by hormone issues.
This trial studies whether blocking part of the adrenal blood supply (“adrenal artery ablation”) along with spironolactone can improve hormone-driven high blood pressure caused by primary aldosteronism. It may help people who have confirmed adrenal overactivity and do not want surgery.
