Comparing two catheter methods for adrenal vein sampling
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of doing a test called adrenal vein sampling, which helps doctors find the cause of high blood pressure caused by a hormone problem. The test is done through a vein in the arm, and the study looks at whether using one catheter or two is better. If you have high blood pressure and are being checked for primary aldosteronism, this trial might help improve how the test is done.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old.
- You have high blood pressure.
- Your initial blood tests suggest primary aldosteronism (a hormone imbalance that raises blood pressure).
- You are willing to participate and sign a consent form.
- You are not allergic to the dye used in the test.
- You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant.
- You do not have severe health problems like kidney failure, liver disease, or recent heart attack or stroke.

This trial compares different ways of doing adrenal vein sampling (a test to find which adrenal gland is causing high blood pressure). It aims to see if combining methods works better than using just one for people with primary aldosteronism.
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.
This study examines how different methods of measuring hormone levels in the blood help identify primary aldosteronism (a condition causing high blood pressure). Researchers want to find the best cutoff values to identify patients who might benefit from surgery to remove part of the adrenal gland.
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 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.
