Effect of Supine Time on Adrenal Venous Sampling Outcomes

Preoperative Supine Time for Adrenal Venous Sampling: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial

Not applicable Interventional Second Affiliated Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University · NCT05658705

This study is testing whether lying down for 15 minutes or 2 hours before a specific test can improve results for people with primary aldosteronism.

What this trial studies

This study investigates how the duration of preoperative supine time influences the outcomes of adrenal venous sampling (AVS) in patients diagnosed with primary aldosteronism. It is a single-center, prospective randomized controlled trial involving 120 participants who will be assigned to either a 15-minute or a 2-hour supine time before undergoing AVS. The primary outcomes include clinical and laboratory remission rates, while secondary outcomes focus on the technical success rate and any adverse events related to AVS. The findings aim to optimize preoperative protocols for better patient outcomes.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18 and above who have been clinically diagnosed with primary aldosteronism and are willing to undergo adrenal venous sampling.

Not a fit: Patients with suspected adrenal tumors, high surgical risk, or other specific contraindications will not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved AVS outcomes and better management of primary aldosteronism, potentially reducing complications associated with resistant hypertension.

How similar studies have performed: While adrenal venous sampling is a well-established procedure, this specific investigation into the optimal preoperative supine time is novel and has not been extensively studied.
