Can Radiofrequency Ablation Be Used as a Treatment Modality for the Management of Pulmonary Metastatic Ameloblastoma?
We report the case of a 59-year-old woman who presented with metastatic ameloblastoma involving the lungs, 20 years after resection of the primary tumor in the mandible. The lesions were debulked on multiple occasions with radiofrequency ablation over an eight-year period with local response. There were no complications related to the procedures. We suggest that radiofrequency ablation is a pos...
متن کاملAlcohol Septal Ablation for the Treatment of Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy.
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is an inherited myocardial disorder characterised by left ventricular hypertrophy. A subgroup of patients develops limiting symptoms in association with left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO). Current international guidelines recommend that symptomatic patients are initially treated by alleviating exacerbating factors and negatively inotropic medica...
متن کاملAlcohol septal ablation for obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
Treatment of obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy remains challenging. Medical therapy, surgical therapy, and pacemaker therapy have been shown to be beneficial in some patients over the years. Alcohol septal ablation is a catheter-based intervention that causes a controlled infarct in the septum leading to a decrease in the left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. Along with the impressi...
متن کاملPapillary Thyroid Carcinoma Treated with Radiofrequency Ablation in a Patient with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: A Case Report
Standard therapy has not been established for thyroid cancer when a thyroidectomy is contraindicated due to systemic disease. Herein, we reported a patient who had hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and papillary thyroid carcinoma treated by radiofrequency ablation because of inability to tolerate a thyroidectomy. Radiofrequency ablation can be used to treat thyroid cancer when surgery is not feasible...
متن کاملAlcohol Septal Ablation for Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy
Since its original description in 1994, alcohol septal ablation (ASA) has emerged as a minimally invasive modality for treatment of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy compared to surgical myomectomy. This catheter-based intervention relies on the injection of absolute alcohol into the septal perforator to induce a controlled infarction of the hypertrophied septum and consequently abolish t...
