[Articles] Endoscopic, ultrasound-guided, radiofrequency ablation of aldosterone-producing adenomas (FABULAS): a UK, multicentre, prospective, proof-of-concept trial

EUS-RFA appears a safe alternative to total adrenalectomy for the treatment of left-sided APAs and has the potential to completely cure primary aldosteronism and hypertension when most of the APA is ablated. These findings have informed the design of a pivotal study of thermal ablation versus surgery, which will determine the full benefits of EUS-RFA.
