First seen Feb 26, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 11 times

Summary

This study tests if a less invasive procedure called thermal ablation (using heat from a needle) works as well as surgery to cure primary aldosteronism, a condition where a small adrenal gland tumor causes high blood pressure. About 122 adults with a tumor in one adrenal gland will be randomly assigned to either ablation or keyhole surgery. The goal is to see if ablation can normalize blood pressure and hormone levels without the need for lifelong medication, while also reducing hospital stays and speeding up recovery.
