Ethanol injection under ultrasound guidance to palliate unresectable parathyroid carcinoma.
BACKGROUND Severe hypercalcemia is the leading cause of death in patients with parathyroid carcinoma. Non-curative resection and pharmacological measures may be useful for palliation in cases with recurrent and metastatic disease. Palliative treatment with intra-neoplastic ethanol injection has not been reported yet. METHODS Ultrasound-guided percutaneous alcohol injection in one patient with...
متن کاملSteroid injection for hip osteoarthritis: efficacy under ultrasound guidance.
OBJECTIVE To determine the efficacy of IA corticosteroid (CS) injection in pain reduction for hip OA under ultrasound (US) guidance. METHODS Forty patients [mean age 62.78 (8.16) years] fulfilling ACR criteria for hip OA, with synovitis detected at US, gave their consent for IA US-guided CS injection because of pain refractory to conventional therapy. At baseline, at 1 and 3 months, patients ...
متن کاملPalliative treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma with percutaneous ethanol injection using tumor's feeding artery occlusion under the ultrasonic color Doppler guidance.
We evaluate the efficacy of PEIT in patients with HCC using duplex color Doppler US. The study included 27 HCC patients admitted to the University Hospital Centre Zagreb, between 1993 and 1997. PEIT was performed for ablation of tumor supplying vessels in HCCs of < 5 cm in diameter, and as a palliative measure for tumor feeding vessel obliteration in larger tumors. The efficacy of PEIT was eval...
متن کاملUltrasonographic diagnosis of parathyroid glands and percutaneous ethanol injection therapy.
The first choice for imaging diagnosis of parathyroid gland (PTG) abnormalities is ultrasonography with a high-frequency probe. The patient must be positioned correctly when performing either imaging or percutaneous ethanol injection (PEIT) of the PTG. The enlarged PTGs are examined by ultrasonic tomography using 3D measurements, and it is important to evaluate blood flow; the PTGs are hypervas...
متن کاملModified percutaneous ethanol injection of parathyroid adenoma in primary hyperparathyroidism.
Surgery is the treatment of choice for symptomatic primary hyperparathyroidism; unlikely few patients do not meet established surgical criteria or have comorbid conditions that prohibit surgery. In these subjects, medical therapy alone offers little hope for a sustained long normocalcemic period. However percutaneous ethanol injection (PEI) may represent an alternative therapeutic procedure. It...
