Percutaneous ethanol injection for benign cystic thyroid nodules: is aspiration of ethanol-mixed fluid advantageous?
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We evaluated the differences between percutaneous ethanol injection with and without aspiration of ethanol-mixed fluid for treatment of benign cystic thyroid nodules. METHODS We examined 60 patients with benign cystic thyroid nodules confirmed by fine-needle aspiration biopsy and divided them into 2 groups according to nonaspiration (group A, n = 30) or aspiration (grou...
متن کاملUltrasonography Guided Percutaneous Ethanol Injection Therapy for Benign Thyroid Nodules: Preliminary Experience
Thyroid nodule is one of the most frequently encountered thyroid diseases. High resolution ultrasonography (US) is sensitive and capable of detecting detailed anatomy of thyroid including nodules. Tc-99m thyroid scan is a well established and inexpensive imaging modality for many thyroid disorders. The aim of this study was to detect the effectiveness of percutaneous ethanol injection therapy (...

متن کاملTreatment of hyperfunctioning thyroid nodules by percutaneous ethanol injection
BACKGROUND: Autonomous thyroid nodules can be treated by a variety of methods. We assessed the efficacy of percutaneous ethanol injection in treating autonomous thyroid nodules. METHODS: 35 patients diagnosed by technetium-99 scanning with hyperfunctioning nodules and suppressed sensitive TSH (sTSH) were given sterile ethanol injections under ultrasound guidance. 29 patients had clinical and bi...
متن کاملPercutaneous Ethanol Injection in Thyroid Nodules: Preliminary Results
Percutaneous ethanol injection (PEI) was first introduced for treatment of thyroid nodules in 1990 (1). The procedure has previously been used for treatment of several benign and malignant conditions, including parathyroid and hepatic tumors (2). Özdemir and co-workers were the first researchers who performed PEI in Turkey with successful results (3). This paper reports our center’s initial exp...
