The study aims to assess the effect of superselective adrenal arterial embolization on vascular endothelial function in patients with primary aldosteronism based on brachial artery flow-mediated relaxation
After being informed about the study and potential risks,all patients giving written informed consent will undergo a 2-week screening period to determine eligibility for study entry.At week 0,patients who meet the eligibility requirements will be divided into Superselective adrenal arterial embolization group or spironolactone therapy group,according to the patient's surgical indications and wishes.

Superselective adrenal arterial embolization is an operation to inject embolic agent into adrenal artery through catheter to embolize part of adrenal gland, so as to reduce the secretion of adrenal hormone and reduce blood pressure.
Aldosterone receptor antagonists are recommended by guidelines for the treatment of bilateral primary aldosteronism.
