Utility of adrenocorticotropic hormone in adrenal vein sampling despite the occurrence of discordant lateralization

Background Adrenal vein sampling (AVS) is crucial for accurate lateralization of aldosterone excess but it is technically challenging due to the difficulty of adrenal vein cannulation. The use of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) to improve cannulation success is controversial and can lead to disco...
