Heart health during adrenal tumor surgery study
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how different types of adrenal tumors might affect the heart during and after surgery. It aims to help doctors understand and reduce the risk of heart injury in patients having these tumors removed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are scheduled for surgery to remove the tumor.
- You are able to give your consent and follow study instructions.
- You do not have severe communication or mental health issues that would make participation difficult.

This study looks at how well your adrenal gland works right after surgery for a hormone condition called primary aldosteronism. It uses a simple test to measure your adrenal function, helping doctors understand how your body recovers.
This study looks at how often adrenal insufficiency happens after surgery for primary aldosteronism, especially in patients who also have an overproduction of cortisol. It helps doctors understand if extra hormone support is needed after 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.
This trial tests a program to help patients recover faster after urologic surgery. It focuses on making sure you heal well and get back to your normal life quickly.
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.
