Overview

Multi-center registry study to evaluate disease-related quality of life outcomes of thyroid embolization via pressure-enabled delivery (PED-TAE). Additional technical success data on parenchymal volume reduction, thyroid function tests changes and post-procedural complications will be recorded. Data will be collected for patients who have undergone PED-TAE using the TriNav Infusion System at participating sites. The registry study will include up to 10 sites, with Sarasota Memorial Health Care System acting as the lead site responsible for maintaining and monitoring the study database.

Interventions

  • Other Data Collection
    Subjects with planned PED-TAE delivered via TriNav will receive their treatment following routine standard of care procedures. Post-procedural data obtained by a patient chart review will be collected in a study database. No additional study-specific interventions or visits outside of the routine clinical treatment will be performed.

Primary outcome measures

  • ThyPro-39 questionnaire [Time frame: 6 months]
  • Procedure related adverse events [Time frame: 6 months]
Secondary outcome measures (2)
  • Thyroid volume change [Time frame: 6 months]
  • Change in TSH, T3 and T4 [Time frame: 6 months]

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion criteria
