[Interventional radiology in postoperative recurrent goiter]. 1995

E V Galkin

Roentgeno-endovascular functional thyroidectomy was used to suppress the pathological activity of the thyroid in postoperative recurrent goiter. The method consists in vascular isolation of hyperplastic stump of the thyroid by catheterization of the left and right thyroid arteries, followed by their material occlusion. For embolization, a wide spectrum of nonlysed synthetic, organic, and inorganic materials were used. The results of roentgeno-endovascular functional thyroidectomy in 14 patients with postoperative recurrent goiter are analyzed. The advantages of roentgeno-endovascular occlusion of the thyroid arteries before subtotal thyroidectomy are emphasized. A stabile clinical and hormonal remission and reduction of the thyroid in size to stage 1 were observed during three years following roentgeno-endovascular intervention.
