Ablation for aldosterone-producing vs cortisol-producing adrenal adenomas - a comprehensive review

This review aims to explore the differences in clinical, pathological, radiological, and treatment outcomes between aldosterone-producing adenomas (APA) and cortisol-producing adenomas (CPA) in the context of radiofrequency ablation (RFA). The authors seek to understand why APAs are more frequently treated with RFA compared to CPAs, despite the latter being a significant indication for the procedure. By addressing this gap, the review intends to enhance the understanding of interventional radiologists regarding the distinct characteristics and treatment implications of these two types of adrenal adenomas.
