Abstract
To assess the effectiveness of thermal ablation for aldosterone-producing adrenal adenoma. A systematic search of the PubMed and CINAHL databases was performed to identify studies of thermal ablation for adrenal adenomas. Random effects meta-analysis models were used to compare pre- and post-treatment values of the following outcomes: systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), use of antihypertensive medications, and biochemical parameters (plasma aldosterone levels, aldosterone-to-renin ratio, and potassium levels). The rate of hypertension (HTN) resolution and improvement were also evaluated. A total of 89 patients from 7 studies were included in the analysis. The mean postablation follow-up duration was 45.8 months. Pooled data analysis revealed a statistically significant decrease in SBP (-29.06 mm Hg; 95% confidence interval [CI], -33.93 to -24.19), DBP (-16.03 mm Hg; 95% CI, -18.33 to -13.73), and the number of antihypertensive medications used (-1.43; 95% CI, -1.97 to -0.89) after ablation. Biochemical parameters had returned to normal ranges after ablation in all studies. The cumulative rate of resolution or improvement in HTN status was 75.3%. On metaregression analysis, there was no statistically s...Continue Reading
