Background: Adrenal venous sampling (AVS) is considered the gold standard for lateralisation of aldosterone production in patients with primary aldosteronism (PA). However, in some patients AVS is not technically successful and management may depend on radiological findings.Aim: To determine 1) the success rate of AVS and 2) the outcomes after surgery related to the lateralisation modality.Method: 156 patients were included who pre...

Introduction: Multi-modal therapy for adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) includes surgery, therapy with the adrenolytic agent mitotane and systemic chemotherapy. Achievement of therapeutic mitotane concentrations (≥14 mg/l) has been related to improved outcomes.Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness of a defined* high dose protocol mitotane therapy in patients with advanced ACC (stages III and IV).Methods: Review of patients presenti...
