Adrenal vein (AV) sampling (AVS) is the diagnostic gold standard for primary aldosteronism (PA), but right-sided AVS is difficult. We compared detection of AVs by selective retrograde CT adrenal venography (SRCTAV) with digital subtraction angiography (DSA). Data on 29 subjects (11 males, mean age 5...
