Basivertebral nerve ablation technique
Techniques in Vascular and Interventional RadiologyChronic low back pain represents a leading cause of global disability, but can often be complex in etiology, with multiple pain generators contributing to patient discomfort. Anterior column low back pain involves the vertebral bodies and discs, with the vertebral body endplates now known to be a significant pain generator.

Atrial Fibrillation Ablation: Indications and Techniques
Current Treatment Options in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2019Atrial fibrillation (AF) predisposes to embolic strokes and reduced quality of life. Ablation (catheter-based or surgically performed) can be employed to promote the maintenance of sinus rhythm in a carefully selected subset of patients with AF. The goal of this review is to discuss the indications and techniques for AF ablation, as well as post ...

Radiofrequency tumor ablation: principles and techniques
European Journal of Ultrasound, 2001Radiofrequency (RF) tumor ablation has been demonstrated as a reliable method for creating thermally induced coagulation necrosis using either a percutaneous approach with image-guidance or direct surgical placement of thin electrodes into tissues to be treated. Early clinical trials with this technology have studied the treatment of hepatic, cerebral,

Mapping Techniques for Atrial Fibrillation Ablation
Current Problems in Cardiology, 2007Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common arrhythmia. Although significant work still needs to be done, recent advances in understanding the mechanism of AF have led to the development of elegant catheter mapping techniques for ablation of AF. These improved mapping techniques are complemented by an evolution in various imaging and navigational technologies,

Endometrial ablation: principles and technique.
Acta Europaea fertilitatis, 1990Uterine bleeding may be caused either by benign organic pathology as well as different dysfunctional conditions. Medical treatment with progestins, danazol or GnRH analogues is usually used as the first choice therapy. Where the symptoms persist, hysterectomy is generally proposed; it has been calculated that from 500,000 to 700,000 such operations are

[Pulsed field ablation : The ablation technique of the future?]
Herzschrittmachertherapie & Elektrophysiologie, 2022The ablation of cardiac arrhythmias is now standard therapy in invasive electrophysiology with a focus on atrial fibrillation due to its high prevalence. Thermal energy sources such as radiofrequency or cryoablation are the most commonly used techniques to date.

Thermal endometrial ablation: a simple technique
Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, 2000Background. To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of a technique for thermal endometrial ablation.Method. The study was carried out in three steps; step I on 10 fresh uterine specimens, step II on 14 intact uteri during hysterectomy and step III in five patients, two weeks prior to hysterectomy. A simple device comprising a Foley catheter No. 14F, a

Renal radiofrequency ablation: Technique and results
Urologic Oncology: Seminars and Original Investigations, 2005Laparoscopic or percutaneous radiofrequency ablation has become a viable treatment option for small renal tumors. Although long-term results are not yet available, intermediate results show promise for the treatment of select renal lesions. Here, we describe the basics of radiofrequency ablation technology, outline techniques used for both percutaneous

Intraductal Ablation Techniques
2020In recent years, intraductal ablation technologies have emerged as an adjunct for unresectable pancreatic and biliary malignancies and also for treating ingrowth of metallic stents. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA), photodynamic therapy (PDT), and argon plasma coagulation (APC) are all existing technologies that have been adapted for the use within the ...
