Parathyroid Allotransplant With a New Technique: A Prospective Clinical Trial.

Objectives: Parathyroid allotransplant is a valuable alternative in treating permanent hypoparathyroidism. However, it is a difficult process that requires several trained staff and advanced laboratory equipment, which makes the costs high. Here, we identify a new parathyroid allotransplant technique.

Parathyroid Allotransplant for Persistent Hypocalcaemia: A New Technique Involving Short-Term Culture.

Objectives: To develop a new parathyroid allotransplant method for the treatment of permanent hypoparathyroidism.

Materials And Methods: Parathyroid cells 50 × 10(6) derived from a parathyroid hyperplasia patient were transferred to a 61-year-old patient who had thyroidectomy 17 years earlier, allowing to papillary thyroid cancer; he was admitted to our outpatient clinic with symptomatic chronic hypocalcemia. Cell isolation, cryopreservation, and culturing were conducted according to a new protocol.
