Verification in an animal study of the appropriate settings for a novel radiofrequency generator in radiofrequency ablation therapy for residual intraductal lesions after endoscopic papillectomy (with video)

Digestive Endoscopy, EarlyView.
Endoscopic intraductal radiofrequency ablation (ID‐RFA) can curatively treat residual intraductal lesions after endoscopic papillectomy. This study aimed to verify the tissue invasiveness of ID‐RFA using a novel RF generator and to explore its appropriate settings in an animal experiment, followed by a small clinical study.
