- Abstract
This paper reports the case of a patient with parathyroid carcinoma and metastatic parathyroid carcinoma in the liver, as well as persistent hypercalcemia resistant to the management with zoledronic acid and cinacalcet. The patient was treated with intra-arterial embolization using polyvinyl alcohol microspheres in the right hepatic artery, achieving an excellent biochemical control after the intervention.
