Ep. 587 Thyroid Artery Embolization: Indications & Outcomes with Dr. Juan Camacho
What role does thyroid artery embolization play in contemporary thyroid cancer care? Dr. Juan Camacho, an interventional radiologist from Sarasota, Florida, joins host Dr. Sabeen Dhand to discuss how this emerging technique is reshaping the management of thyroid malignancies.

SYNPOSIS
Dr. Camacho shares his experiences establishing a multidisciplinary team at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center dedicated to the management of thyroid malignancies, highlighting the critical role of collaboration in the successful implementation of this emerging treatment. He details key procedural techniques, emphasizing the importance of recognizing anatomic variations that can influence technical success. He also examines how arterial supply and lesion location inform procedural planning and decision-making, and outlines his technical approach to thyroid artery embolization, including the use of a radial artery access, catheter selection strategies, and the application of cone-beam CT for procedural optimization. Finally, he reviews his pre- and post-procedural management strategies, including the role of beta blockers in optimizing patient outcomes.
The discussion concludes with illustrative case studies demonstrating substantial reductions in thyroid volume and symptomatic relief, notably achieved without post-procedural hypothyroidism.
