The pathologic basis and clinical experience of interventional embolization in treatment of Graves disease

Objective To study the clinical effects, safety and histopathology of the thyroid after interventional embolization in the treatment of refractory Graves disease. Methods Superselective arteriography and interventional embolization of thyroid superior and inferior arteries were performed by polyvinyl alcohol and Bletilla microspheres in 22 patients with refractory Graves disease. Pathological morphology of thyroid glands was observed in 6 patients with huge goiter who received subtotal thyroidectomy after embolization. Results Six patients were cured by subtotal thyroidectomy 2-3 weeks after embolization. The remaining 16 cases were treated only with interventional embolization, of whom, 14 were cured, the other 2 patients were still on maintaining dosage of antithyroid drug therapy (Tapazole 5-10 mg/d or PTU 50-100 mg/d). Followed up by 3-30 months, all patients remained in euthyroid state and the size of thyroid glands decreased remarkably to at least 1/3-1/2 of its original volume. No serious complications were found. Pathological examination showed that the superior and inferior thyroid arteries and most of their branches were embolized. Chemical inflammation, necrosis and fibrosis were observed in embolized thyroid tissue. Conclusion The technique of embolization of superior and inferior thyroid arteries is a new effective method for the treatment of refractory Graves disease as well as a pre operative procedure in some cases.
