Materials And Methods: One hundred two patients with TAO who underwent endovascular treatment for chronic limb-threatening ischemia or severe claudication of lower extremities in a tertiary hospital between 2015 and 2022 were included in this retrospective study. Data on serum cotinine levels were available for the last 45 patients, and 38 patients constituted the study population.
Article Synopsis
- A 53-year-old woman felt really tired for 6 weeks and had some tests done that showed high levels of a hormone called parathormone.
- Doctors did an ultrasound on her neck and found a big lump in her thyroid, which had different parts and even some tiny calcium spots.
- After some tests, they discovered she had a type of thyroid cancer and took out her whole thyroid gland, finding that the lump had cancer and part of it was a different growth called a parathyroid adenoma.
