“…Biochemical abnormalities were resolved in all patients, and no major complications were observed. These data are in accordance with the results of Mendiratta et al [9] in which 13 small functional adrenal tumours were treated via radiofrequency ablation and monitored for a median of 21.2 months, and of Abbas et al [19] in which five aldosteronomas were treated via thermal ablation with a 12-month follow-up period. Despite the small sample size treated with MWA, we believe that this technique can be used to treat functional adrenal tumours with clinical symptoms.…”

As more and more adrenal neoplasms are found incidentally or symptomatically, the need for interventional procedures has being increasing. In recent years these procedures registered continued steady expansion. Interventional radiology of the adrenal glands comprises angiographic and percutaneous procedures. They may be applied both in benign and in malignant pathologies. The present review reports the current status of indications, techniques results and complications of the image-guided procedures.

“…With RFA, it is not possible to distinguish this scenario from lack of cure due to incomplete nodule ablation. In the studies evaluating RFA in PA, repeat CT imaging was used to reassess the ablated nodule post RFA [8,[12][13][14][15][16]. The absence of intravenous contrast enhancement at the location of the nodule was used to judge complete ablation.…”

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a technique that has been extensively used in the treatment of primary malignancies and metastases and, recently, been deployed for the treatment of unilateral Primary Aldosteronism (PA) as an alternative to whole unilateral adrenalectomy. Current evidence comparing RFA with unilateral adrenalectomy in the treatment of PA so far has been variable, with studies being retrospective and small scale, but it remains a very attractive option as a potentially less invasive treatment option compared to adrenalectomy. This review article describes the procedure, the evidence and the possible future direction of RFA in the treatment of unilateral PA.
