A recent retrospective study assessed the use of adrenal vein sampling (AVS) in conjunction with CT to help in the diagnosis of primary aldosteronism subtypes. On the basis of their findings, Sarlon-Bartoli et al. conclude that AVS is essential in the diagnosis of primary aldosteronism and that all patients, regardless of adrenal CT findings, should undergo AVS prior to surgery.
