Primary aldosteronism (PA) is a prevalent and curable secondary hypertensive disorder that accounts for 5-13% of all hypertension cases. The prevalence of resistant hypertension, cerebral and cardiovascular diseases, and renal complications is higher in PA patients than in those with essential hypertension. Appropriate diagnosis and treatment at an early stage may suppress cerebral and cardiovascular events.

Article Synopsis
  • A 52-year-old woman with a history of liver surgery developed gastric varices, which posed a risk of rupture.
  • A specialized procedure called balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration (BRTO) was attempted using a double-balloon catheter, but initial venography did not visualize the varices.
  • Ultimately, the treatment was successful by injecting a sclerosing agent through the catheter system, effectively embolizing the varices and highlighting the method's effectiveness for complex vascular cases.

Section of Cardiac Electrophysiology, Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, 1 Convention Avenue, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 19104, USA.

Article Synopsis
  • * Mapping procedures, especially in regions like the left ventricular ostium and interventricular septum, are essential for pinpointing intramural arrhythmias and planning appropriate ablation strategies.
  • * Advanced techniques, such as bipolar ablation or transvenous ethanol injection, may be necessary during ablation, highlighting the importance of comprehensive mapping that includes the coronary venous system.
