Innovative Techniques for Image-Guided Ablation of Benign Thyroid Nodules: Combined Ethanol and Radiofrequency Ablation
In the treatment of benign thyroid nodules, ethanol ablation (EA), and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) have been suggested for cystic and solid thyroid nodules, respectively. Although combining these ablation techniques may be effective, no guidelines for or reviews of the combination have been published. Currently, there are three ways of combining EA and RFA: additional RFA is effective for tre...
متن کاملCombination therapy consisting of ethanol and radiofrequency ablation for predominantly cystic thyroid nodules.
SUMMARY Predominantly cystic thyroid nodules are often aspirated before radiofrequency ablation to enhance its efficacy; however internal bleeding during the aspiration is a problem. We evaluated the feasibility and safety of ethanol ablation to control internal bleeding that occurred during preparatory aspiration. Between September 2010 and August 2011, 11 of 40 predominantly cystic nodules bl...
متن کاملRadiofrequency versus Ethanol Ablation for Treating Predominantly Cystic Thyroid Nodules: A Randomized Clinical Trial
OBJECTIVE To compare single-session radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and ethanol ablation (EA) for treating predominantly cystic thyroid nodules (PCTNs). MATERIALS AND METHODS This single-blind, randomized trial was approved by the Institutional Review Board of two centers and informed consent was obtained from all patients before enrollment. Fifty patients with a single PCTN (cystic portion les...
متن کاملThyroid Radiofrequency Ablation: Original Case Report
Background: Radiofrequency ablation has been reported to be effective and safe in reducing benign thyroid volume nodules. Most studies carried out so far were performed on a limited number of large nodules and often a subset of them required more than one single treatment. Case report: We describe the case of 82-year-old woman with a very large volume thyroid nodule treated with a single sessio...
متن کاملThermal Ablation for Benign Thyroid Nodules: Radiofrequency and Laser
Although ethanol ablation has been successfully used to treat cystic thyroid nodules, this procedure is less effective when the thyroid nodules are solid. Radiofrequency (RF) ablation, a newer procedure used to treat malignant liver tumors, has been valuable in the treatment of benign thyroid nodules regardless of the extent of the solid component. This article reviews the basic physics, techni...
