The role of AVS without cosyntropin stimulation (pre\u2010ACTHstim) has not been established. The selectivity index (SI), the adrenal vein (av) serum cortisol concentration divided by that in a peripheral vein, confirms av sampling. The minimally acceptable SI is controversial. The objectives of this study were to determine the role of pre\u2010ACTHstim AVS and a predetermined SI.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Design<\/jats:title><jats:p>Using biochemical cure as the endpoint, we performed a retrospective head\u2010to\u2010head comparison of pre\u2010ACTHstim AVS to post\u2010ACTHstim AVS. The specificity of a predetermined minimum SI of 1.5 in pre\u2010ACTHstim AVS was determined.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Patients<\/jats:title><jats:p>At a regional AVS referral centre, we analysed 32 patients who had undergone simultaneous bilateral AVS both pre\u2010 and post\u2010ACTHstim and had returned for postadrenalectomy evaluation.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Measurements<\/jats:title><jats:p>Simultaneous bilateral AVS was performed with measurements of venous concentrations of aldosterone and cortisol.

The two AVS protocols were complementary. Notably, seven patients (22%; CI\u00a0=\u00a011\u201038) were found to have SRA by a lateralization index (LI)\u00a0&gt;\u00a04 on the pre\u2010ACTHstim AVS, but not on the post\u2010ACTHstim AVS.
