Official title
Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Ethanol Ablation of Aldosterone-Producing Adenomas
Overview
This is a prospective, single-center, single-arm study evaluating endoscopic ultrasound-guided ethanol ablation for left-sided aldosterone-producing adenoma. Eligible participants will receive the ablation procedure and be followed for safety, imaging response, biochemical remission, and clinical remission. The study is expected to enroll 30 participants.
Interventions
- Procedure Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Ethanol Ablation
Participants with left-sided aldosterone-producing adenoma undergo endoscopic ultrasound-guided ethanol ablation under real-time endoscopic ultrasound guidance.
Primary outcome measures
- Procedure-related major adverse events [Time frame: Within 24-48 hours after endoscopic ultrasound-guided ethanol ablation]
Secondary outcome measures (3)
- Complete tumor ablation on imaging [Time frame: 6 months after endoscopic ultrasound-guided ethanol ablation]
- Complete biochemical remission rate [Time frame: 6 months after endoscopic ultrasound-guided ethanol ablation]
- Complete clinical remission rate [Time frame: 6 months after endoscopic ultrasound-guided ethanol ablation]
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion criteria
- Diagnosis of left-sided aldosterone-producing adrenal adenoma.
- Unwillingness to undergo adrenalectomy or presence of contraindications to surgery.
- Ability and willingness to provide written informed consent.
Exclusion criteria
- History of alcohol allergy.
- Inability to discontinue beta-blockers.
- Inability to discontinue anticoagulants, antiplatelet agents, or glucocorticoids.
- Platelet count <50 × 10\^9/L or uncorrectable coagulation dysfunction.
- Imaging findings suggestive of adrenal cyst, adrenal hematoma, or myelolipoma.
- Presence of other active malignancies.
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding; alcohol abuse; drug abuse; or mental disorder that may interfere with study participation.
- Severe comorbid conditions, including any of the following: New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III-IV heart failure or hospitalization for worsening chronic heart failure within the previous 3 months; stroke or acute coronary syndrome within the previous 3 months; severe anemia (hemoglobin <60 g/L); severe hepatic disease (alanine aminotransferase ≥3 × the upper limit of normal); severe renal disease requiring dialysis or estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <30 mL/min/1.73 m²; systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS); poorly controlled diabetes mellitus (fasting blood glucose ≥13.3 mmol/L); severe obesity (body mass index ≥35 kg/m²); untreated aneurysm; or any other severe medical condition that may interfere with treatment or study follow-up.
- Poor compliance or any other condition that, in the investigator's judgment, would make the participant unsuitable for the study.
