Efeito da injeção percutânea de etanol na redução de nódulos tireoideanos

Abstract: To verify the effectiveness of percutaneous ethanol injection (PEI) in the treatment of thyroid nodules (TN), we analyzed 86 TN from 77 patients before and after one or two sessions of PEI. The medians of the initial and final volumes were: 3.5 mL (range 0.3-82.7) and 1.8 mL (range 0-29.4). Seven percent of the nodules disappeared and the mean nodule size reduction was 52.6% (p< 0.0001). After ethanol injection, the median volume reduction was: 37.3% (range -39.0-82.6) for solid; 53.5% (14.6-88.0) for mostly s… Show more
