Abstract
Objective To explore the value of assessing the change of peripheral arteries after thyroid-artery-embolism treatment on hyperthyroidism with colour doppler ultrasonography.Methods 43 hyperthyroidism patients were treat with thyroid artery embolism; resistent index ( RI ), pulsatility index ( PI ) of common carotid artery ( CCA ),internal carotid artery ( ICA ),external carotid artery ( ECA ),renal artery( RA ),and carotid artery intima-media thicknes( IMT ) were measured before and 1,3 months after the operation with colour doppler ultrasonography.Results pulsatility index,resistance index of ICA and RA and IMT of carotid artery of the hyperthyroid group before treatment was significantly higher than that of control group ( P＜ 0.05 ),while resistance index of ECA was significantly lower than that of the control group( P＜ 0.05 ).3 months after the treatment,pulsatility index,resistance index of ICA and RA and IMT of carotid artery of ICA and RA was significantly lower than that before treatment ( P ＜ 0.05 ); resistance index of CCA wasn't statistically different between the hyperthyroid group and the control group and didn' t significantly differ from that before the treatment ( P ＞ 0.05 ).Conclusion color Doppler ultrasound has important value for the clinical-efficacy assessment of thyroid-artery-embolism treatment on hyperthyroidism.关键词
