Efficacy and safety of radiofrequency ablation for hyperparathyroidism: a meta-analysis and systematic review
Question What is the efficacy and safety of RFA in treating hyperparathyroidism? Findings In PHPT, pooled mean values of biochemical indexes (serum PTH, calcium) were normal throughout 12-month follow-up. In SHPT and THPT, pooled mean PTH stayed within target ranges throughout 12-month follow-up. Clinical relevance RFA showed efficacy and safety in treating hyperparathyroidism, maintaining biochemical indexes within normal or target ranges throughout 12-month follow-ups. RFA would be a valuable treatment option for patients who are ineligible for surgery or who decline surgical intervention.
