Safety limit of large-volume hepatic radiofrequency ablation in a rat model.
BACKGROUND Large-volume hepatic radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has been used to treat large liver tumors, but its safety limit is unknown. This study aimed to investigate the possible systemic responses of large-volume hepatic RFA and to estimate its safety limit in normal and cirrhotic rats. HYPOTHESIS Large-volume hepatic RFA causes a significant systemic inflammatory reaction. DESIGN Expe...
متن کاملSafety and efficacy of laparoscopic radiofrequency ablation for hepatic malignancies
PURPOSE Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is an accepted treatment option for primary and metastatic liver tumors. As percutaneous RFA has some limitations, laparoscopic RFA (LRFA) has been used as a therapeutic alternative for the treatment of hepatic malignancies. METHODS Between March 2006 and September 2009, thirty patients with hepatic malignancies that were contraindicated for resection or ...

HYPOTHESIS Hepatic radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is effective in treating patients with unresectable hepatic malignancies. DESIGN Case series of 123 patients with unresectable hepatic tumors or tumors with histological findings not traditionally treated by means of hepatic resection were considered for hepatic RFA. Median follow-up was 20 months. SETTING Tertiary referral center. PATIENTS...
متن کاملMultipolar radiofrequency ablation of large hepatic metastases of endocrine tumours.
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a reliable method of creating thermally induced coagulation necrosis. Local recurrence after RFA of hepatic metastases is directly dependent on tumour size related to the free margin of ablation. To produce larger coagulation volumes a bipolar radiofrequency device was developed that allows the simultaneous activation of three active needles. This technique was ...
متن کاملRadiofrequency ablation of unresectable hepatic tumors.
PURPOSE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in the treatment of primary and metastatic liver malignancies. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-nine consecutive patients who have primary (n=9) and metastatic (n=20) liver malignancies were treated with RFA. The total number of lesions were 62 at the initiation of treatment and 28 new lesions were diagnosed at the follo...
