| Abstract: | Arteriography for parathyroid localization following unsuccessful neck surgery should include selective catheterization of the inferior thyroid and internal mammary arteries bilaterally. When the arterial supply to a mediastinal adenoma arises from the internal mammary artery, recovery from the neck may not be possible and an open mediastinal exploration (or embolization) should be considered. |
