ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the mid to long term therapeutic efficacy of Graves′ disease after interventional embolization. Methods Twenty five patients of Graves′ disease treated with interventional embolization were followed up for 24-57 months. T 3 and T 4 were monitored at pre operation, six months, 12 months, 2, 3, and 4 years after operation, respectively. Other references included pulse, thyroid size, and vessel′s murmur. Results Twenty two patients completely relieved from the hyperthyroidism during the follow up. Only one patient suffered from recurrence. Other two patients were still on maintaining dosage of antithyroid drug therapy. No hypothyroidism or hypoparathyroidism was found during this term. Conclusion Mid to long term follow up showed satisfactory efficacy of interventional therapy, offering another alternative for treatment of refractory Graves′ disease.
