Coming soon to the UK: Thyroid Artery Goiter Embolization (TAE)

[nssimpson]

Today I spoke to an RFA consultant. He told me that Thyroid Artery Goiter Embolization (TAE) is a new procedure he hopes will be available on the NHS within the next couple of years. Apparently TAE can be used to treat more complex and larger goitres and help further reduce the need for thyroidectomies.

Anyone know more about this?

Nope... let's give it a bump see if we have any knowledgeable folk out there

Looks like I'll be going to Turkey for TAE. Here's an interview with someone that's already benefitted from this procedure: youtu.be/_l5Jo9kyAfY?si=T-6...(Not working as expected?)

Thanks for posting about this nssimpson. Very interesting. Unfortunately already too late for so many, but really encouraging to hear that better treatment may be on the way.
