Summary

This study tests a procedure called thyroid artery embolization (TAE) for people with large thyroid nodules that cause pressure symptoms like trouble swallowing or breathing, but who cannot or choose not to have standard treatments. Researchers will measure if TAE shrinks the nodules and improves symptoms in 20 adults. The goal is to see if this less invasive option is safe and effective.
