AJR Am J Roentgenol. 2008 Dec;191(6):1740-4. doi: 10.2214/AJR.07.3431.

Abstract

Objective: The objective of our study was to show the efficacy and safety of percutaneous ethanol ablation in managing recurrent primary hyperparathyroidism in patients with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) after subtotal parathyroidectomy.

Conclusion: Ethanol ablation is a viable alternative to reoperation for the management of recurrent primary hyperparathyroidism in patients with MEN1.
