Background. It has been suggested that accurate clinical decisions may be made in patients with primary aldosteronism (PA) in the setting of failed cannulation of an adrenal vein, thereby utilizing only data from either right or left adrenal venous sampling (AVS) alone.Methods. Retrospective analysis was performed for all patients with PA who underwent successful bilateral AVS. Adrenal vein/inferior vena cava index (AV/IVC index) was calculated by dividing aldosterone/cortisol ratio of the adrenal vein by aldosterone/cortisol ratio in the inferior vena cava, as described in a previously published study. We examined the rates of inappropriate adrenalectomy and failure to recognize unilateral disease when previously published cutoffs are used.Results. Inclusion criteria were met in 150 patients; 61 with bilateral and 89 with unilateral disease. AV/IVC index cutoff of
