Superselective Adrenal Arterial Embolization Versus Oral Spironolactone for Treatment of Idiopathic Hyperaldosteronism
A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial for Treatment of Idiopathic Hyperaldosteronism: Superselective Adrenal Arterial Embolization Versus Oral Spironolactone

Conditions
Summary
Idiopathic hyperaldosteronism (IHA) represents about 65% of primary hyperaldosteronism cases. Although mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs) are the standard first-line treatment, they are often limited by adverse effects. Superselective adrenal artery embolization (SAAE) has been utilized for IHA over the last decade, yet comparative studies against MRAs are lacking. The objective of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of SAAE and MRA to determine the feasibility of SAAE in treating IHA.

Interventions
Patients in this group will undergo percutaneous superselective adrenal artery embolization (SAAE). Under fluoroscopic guidance, a microcatheter or an over-the-wire balloon catheter will be navigated into the target adrenal arteries, followed by the slow, controlled infusion of absolute ethanol to achieve localized tissue ablation.
Patients will be treated with spironolactone.
