Interventional radiology in Carney triad.
Interventional therapeutic methods are presented in Carney triad, which is a syndrome defined as the simultaneous presence of gastric leiomyosarcoma, extra-adrenal paraganglioma, and pulmonary chondroma. The paragangliomas in the carotid bifurcation and the mediastinum were successfully treated via transarterial embolization with particles. Three intrapulmonary chondromas were ablated using MRI-guided laser-induced thermotherapy (LITT) after previous devascularization via transvenous pulmonary particle embolization. In summary, interventional techniques could be a therapeutic option in patients suffering from Carney triad.
