Background: The purpose of this study is to improve the results of treatment of patients with Graves’ disease by applying Roentgen endovascular embolization (REE) thyroid arteries. Materials and methods: REE thyroid arteries, we used as an independent method of treatment GD. Following this procedure the treatment of 27 patients received for the period from 2012 to July 2014 y. All patients hospitalized with a confirmed diagnosis. Among the 27 patients had 5 (18.5%) men and 22 (81.5%) of women aged 22 to 56 years. Treatment outcome was evaluated, including surgical complications, thyroid function, quality of life and patient satisfaction with the surgical result. Results: Serious complications after REE were noted in 6 (22,2%) patients had severe pain on the front of the neck, parotid region, lower jaw, headaches, which were stopped analgesics, pain duration of 3-4 days. In 3 (11,1%) cases after embolization were transient phenomena after embolization thyroiditis, due to intoxication syndrome, which was also antibacterial cupping therapy. Length of hospital after surgery for thyroid nodules ranged from 5 to 7 days. Conclusion: REE thyroid arteries effective treatment for Graves’ disease is contemporary minimally invasive treatment. Its use is possible in severe forms of GD and the presence of severe concomitant diseases. The method facilitates fast enough cupping effects of hyperthyroidism, thyroid volume reduction. After embolization of thyroid arteries determined characteristic pathological changes in thyroid tissue, showing the effectiveness of the treatment |
