Too Big for Thyroid RFA?

Are you being told your thyroid goiter is too large for Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) and that surgery is your only option? In this first episode SEASON 7 of Save Your Thyroid, Jennifer Holkem sits down with Dr. Juan Camacho, a leader in Interventional Radiology at Radiology Associates of Florida/Sarasota Memorial, to discuss a game-changing nonsurgical treatment: Pressure-Enabled Thyroid Artery Embolization (PED-TAE). While RFA is often ineffective for thyroid volumes exceeding 20 mL, Dr. Camacho’s recent clinical research shows a 73% mean volume reduction in massive goiters (averaging 117 mL) using pressure enabled thyroid artery embolization (PED-TAE). In this video, you will learn: -Why large multinodular goiters often require more than just thermal ablation. -How PED-TAE uses pressure to shrink thyroid tissue while preserving organ function. -The results of Dr. Camacho’s latest publication on euthyroid conversion and safety. -Information on the new 10-site multi-center registry study for thyroid embolization. If you are looking for a nonsurgical way to treat a large goiter or want to avoid a sternotomy, this interview is a must-watch.
