• Radiofrequency ablation of the thyroid gland is an efficacious treatment for persistent/relapsed Graves' disease in well-selected patients. • Radiofrequency ablation of the thyroid gland for the treatment of persistent/relapsed Graves' disease is a safe and well-tolerated ambulatory procedure. • Radiofrequency ablation of the thyroid gland may be a potential alternative treatment for well-selected patients with persistent/relapsed GD who do not wish to undergo either thyroidectomy or radioactive iodine or continue antithyroid drugs.
