Abstract:
Adrenal arterial infusion of absolute ethanol (AE) was successfully performed to treat a hyperfunctioning aldosteronoma. One milliliter of AE was infused into the branches of the inferior adrenal artery using a microcatheter with coaxial technique. No severe complications occurred during the procedure. The patient has experienced no recurrence of symptoms, and laboratory values have remained normal for eight months after therapy.
