An axial neck computed tomography (CT) revealed a large hematoma in the retropharyngeal space that caused anterior deviation of the trachea, with extravasation of contrast media suggesting active bleeding within the hematoma. Right subclavian angiography identified active bleeding from the right inferior thyroid artery (ITA). Transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) was successfully performed with\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      -Butyl cyanoacrylate (NBCA). Follow-up CT done three weeks after the procedure revealed a low-density lesion in the retropharyngeal space, indicating an old hematoma. The patient recovered well and was discharged 6\u00a0weeks later.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Massive hemorrhage arising from the ITA is a rare but possible complication following FNA, which can potentially be fatal. Appropriate preventive measures should be taken while performing FNA, especially in patients on long-term anticoagulant drugs, and prompt intervention is mandatory for patients with acute hematoma after FNA.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12893-021-01184-5","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,27]],"date-time":"2021-04-27T05:21:39Z","timestamp":1619500899000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Endovascular treatment of massive hemorrhage arising from inferior thyroid artery after fine needle aspiration of thyroid: a case report"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Ho Sig","family":"Jang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2162-419X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yook","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"1184_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1089\/thy.2008.0230","author":"HS Kim","year":"2009","unstructured":"Kim HS, Kim J, Kim EY, Lee SK, Kim DI, Chung WY.
