Effect of Preoperative Transarterial Embolization on Surgical Blood Loss in Thyroidectomy for Large Graves' Disease

Key Points

The aim is to evaluate whether preoperative transarterial embolization can decrease blood loss during thyroidectomy for large Graves' disease.
Assess thyroid gland size and intraoperative blood loss in patients with Graves' disease
Implement preoperative transarterial embolization before thyroidectomy
Analyze the correlation between embolization and surgical blood loss
Larger thyroid glands correlate with increased blood loss during surgery
Preoperative TAE significantly reduces intraoperative bleeding in patients with enlarged glands
Embolization may enhance surgical safety and improve patient outcomes

Abstract

Larger thyroid gland size is associated with increased intraoperative blood loss for GD, and selective preoperative TAE may reduce bleeding in patients with markedly enlarged glands.
