Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) of Benign Thyroid Nodules in Patients with Incompletely Resolved Clinical Problems after Ethanol Ablation (EA)

Abstract: RFA is an effective and safe method for treating benign thyroid nodules in patients with incompletely resolved clinical problems following EA.

“…The mean VRR of the BRFA group was 80.63% at the 6-month follow-up, which was consistent with the previous studies that the VRR ranged from 75% to 97% using MRFA. 25,26 By using laser ablation and microwave ablation, the mean VRR of laser ablation and microwave ablation was 44-62% and 46-65% at the 6-month follow-up. 5,20,27,28 In another study, Jeong et al 9 reported the clinical practice of MRFA for benign thyroid nodules in 236 patients and the mean VRR was 84.79% at the 6-month follow-up.…”

“…However, in cystic lesions, a similar therapeutic success is obtained using PEI, which is an easier and less expensive technique [33,34]. When after PEI symptoms persist, together with a residual solid portion in the treated nodule, one or more RF sessions can be useful to complete the ablation process [35,36].…”

“…The first RFA studies on thyroid nodules were performed with a 17-G straight internally cooled electrode needle with a 1-cm active tip [33][34][35][36][37] or with 14-gauge multi-tined expandable electrodes to obtain a more extended ablation area [38][39][40]. Thinner (18-G or 19-G) internally cooled multi-tined (0.5-1-1.5 cm) electrode needles were later developed specifically for thyroid lesions, to make control of the needle easier, minimizing normal tissue injury [41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49].…”
