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.
