Uterine Fibroid Embolization

What is Thyroid
Artery Embolization?

Thyroid Artery Embolization (TAE) is a minimally invasive, image-guided procedure used to shrink an enlarged thyroid gland or large thyroid nodules. An interventional radiologist blocks selected thyroid arteries to reduce blood supply, which helps decrease the size of the gland or nodules and relieves pressure symptoms — without open surgery.

What is Multinodular Goitre and Huge Thyroid Nodules?

A multinodular goitre is an enlarged thyroid gland containing multiple nodules. Sometimes one or more nodules grow very large (“huge thyroid nodules”), causing visible neck swelling and pressure on nearby structures like the windpipe or food pipe. These nodules are often non-cancerous but can still cause significant symptoms.
