If you've been told your thyroid goiter is too large for RFA and that surgery — possibly including a sternotomy — is your only option, this episode is for you. Dr. Juan Camacho is a leader in Interventional Radiology at Radiology Associates of Florida and Sarasota Memorial. He joins Jennifer Holkem to discuss Pressure-Enabled Thyroid Artery Embolization — PED-TAE — a nonsurgical treatment showing remarkable results for massive goiters that thermal ablation can't adequately address. While RFA is often ineffective for thyroid volumes exceeding 20 mL, Dr. Camacho's clinical research shows a 73% mean volume reduction in massive goiters averaging 117 mL using PED-TAE. That's a game-changing number for patients who have been told nothing nonsurgical is available for their size. In this episode: Why large multinodular goiters often require more than thermal ablation How PED-TAE uses pressure to shrink thyroid tissue while preserving organ function Results from Dr. Camacho's lat…
