Introduction: Primary aldosteronism (PA) is one of the common diseases, and aldosterone-producing adenoma (APA) is a surgically curable type, which is usually treated by unilateral total adrenalectomy. We had recently developed a new method of supper-selective ACTH-stimulated adrenal venous sampling (SS-ACTH-AVS) for exactly detecting the main lesion(s) of hyperaldosteronemia. Then we attempted to partially remove the unilateral lesion of hyperaldosteronism detected by SS-ACTH...
