Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) [PDF]

open access: possible, 2007
A diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) implies a poor prognosis. HCC is the cause of 250,000 deaths worldwide each year. Early HCC is typically clinically silent, and the disease is often well advanced at the first manifestation. Since the introduction of surveillance in patients at high risk of developing HCC, the diagnosis of small HCC has ...

Types of Radiofrequency Ablation-Pulsed Radiofrequency Ablation

2021
Continuous radiofrequency (CRF) ablation has been utilized in the treatment of chronic pain since 1974. Pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) emerged as a way to treat pain generators without the destructive effects associated with CRF. While the complete mechanism of action of PRF is not understood, the proposed mechanisms are the induction of long-term ...

Update on Radiofrequency Ablation

Perspectives in Vascular Surgery and Endovascular Therapy, 2009
The two currently available methods to achieve ablation of incompetent veins using radiofrequency energy are radiofrequency ablation (VNUS Closure Plus(tm)) and radiofrequency powered segmental ablation (VNUS Closure Fast(tm)). Both treatment modalities expose vascular endothelium to high-frequency alternating current.

Bipolar Radiofrequency Ablation of the Kidney: Comparison with Monopolar Radiofrequency Ablation

Journal of Endourology, 2003
We report initial ex vivo and in vivo studies using bipolar radiofrequency (RF) ablation of porcine kidneys. An internal ground electrode is positioned in the kidney opposite the RF electrode, resulting in ablation of all the intervening renal tissue.Ex vivo preparations of 10 porcine kidneys were perfused continuously with Ringer's solution and ...
