Radiofrequency ablation of pulmonary lesions [PDF]
Clinical Imaging, 2007 Radiofrequency ablation uses the thermal energy produced by a generator to create a coagulative necrosis. The method is well established for the treatment of a variety of primary and secondary cancers of the liver but is less well studied for the treatment of lung malignancies.From March 2005 to March 2006, 11 patients (seven men and four women) with ...

Transthoracic hepatic radiofrequency ablation [PDF]
Surgical Endoscopy, 2004 Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is an alternative for the treatment of unresectable hepatic tumors. Tumors beneath the diaphragmatic dome may be difficult to access by laparoscopy. In these cases, a transthoracic transdiaphragmatic approach for delivering RFA can be used.Three patients with hepatic metastatic disease were treated using a transthoracic ...

Biophysics of Radiofrequency Ablation
Critical Reviews™ in Biomedical Engineering, 2010Radiofrequency (RF) ablation is a treatment modality that kills unwanted tissue by heat. Starting with cardiac arrhythmia treatment in the 1980s, RF ablation has found clinical application in a number of diseases, and is now the treatment of choice for certain types of cardiac arrhythmia and certain cancers. During RF ablation, an electrode is inserted

Radiofrequency Ablation of Liver Cancer
Techniques in Vascular and Interventional Radiology, 2007The development of image-guided percutaneous techniques for local tumor ablation has been one of the major advances in the treatment of liver malignancies. Over the past two decades, several methods for chemical or thermal tumor destruction have been clinically tested.

Radiofrequency ablation in children
The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 1996Radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation has ushered in a new era in the management of patients with symptomatic tachyarrhythmias. By providing the ability to cure the underlying arrhythmic substrate, RF catheter ablation obviates the need for life-long antiarrhythmic drugs. In the reported series, the success has been high and the complications have been

Primary lung cancer is a severe worldwide health problem causing a greater death toll than breast, prostate, and colorectal cancer combined (Brescia 2001). Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for 80% of primary lung cancer. Unresectability represents the poorest prognostic factor for survival outcome (Strauss 1997).

Radiofrequency ablation of atrial fibrillation
International Journal of Cardiology, 2004Twenty-five patients (16 males, mean age 46 years) underwent radiofrequency ablation because of either paroxysmal (13 patients) or persistent atrial fibrillation (12 patients). Ablation aimed at earliest activation of spontaneous and catheter-induced repetitive ectopy in left and right atria and appendages, and pulmonary veins.

Radiofrequency ablation of pulmonary tumors
European Journal of Radiology, 2010The development of image-guided percutaneous techniques for local tumor ablation has been one of the major advances in the treatment of solid tumors. Among these methods, radiofrequency (RF) ablation is currently established as the primary ablative modality at most institutions.

Radiofrequency ablation of renal tumors
European Radiology, 2004Percutaneous thermal ablation is increasingly applied in the therapy of renal tumors. Various techniques are available, allowing a safe and accurate therapy of renal tumors either using hyperthermia such as radiofrequency ablation (RFA), laser-induced thermotherapy (LITT) and microwave ablation (MW) or by hypothermia (cryoablation). As thermal ablation
