What this Trial Is About
Very few studies have investigated TAE as a treatment for goiter with compressive symptoms. What is the efficacy and safety of TAE for the treatment of compressive goiters in a population ineligible for or refusing standard therapy? This is a prospective interventional cohort study that will allow us to standardize imaging by improving quality data collection and fellow-up to assess the efficacy of TAE for compressive symptoms of nodular goiters. Not only to corroborate current emerging results but clearly define the expected results for this technique.
