Adrenal ablation by retrograde venous ethanol injection: an ineffective and dangerous procedure

JL Doppman and M Girton

Venous injection of ethanol was used to ablate the left adrenal gland in nine monkeys. Severe hypertension and tachycardia occurred in all animals not pretreated with alpha- or beta-adrenergic blockers. On postmortem examination the left adrenal glands were reduced in size but still retained some normal tissue. This procedure, while technically simple, is neither effective nor safe.
