Abstract

Thyroidectomy is a well-described procedure involving partial or total excision of the thyroid gland. It can be associated with some worrisome and dangerous postoperative complications, including postoperative hematoma. Embolization of the thyroid arteries is of great benefit in cases of persistent or recurrent bleeding in the thyroid bed, but is very rarely described in the setting of a post-operative hematoma. We describe a rare case of a patient admitted for a massive thyroidectomy site bleeding who underwent bilateral embolization of superior and inferior thyroid arteries using micro-coils, after unsuccessful surgical attempts at hemostasis.
