Recanalization After Endovenous Thermal Ablation

Annals of Vascular Surgery, 2018
Endovenous thermal ablation in the form of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) or endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) has quickly ascended to a prime position in the treatment of venous insufficiency. Although there are good data examining the rates of thrombotic complications, there is a relative paucity of data examining the recanalization rates after ...

Thermal Ablation of Lung Tumors

Techniques in Vascular and Interventional Radiology, 2007
Thermal ablation can be applied to treat any thoracic malignancy: primary lung cancers, recurrent primary lung cancers, metastatic disease, chest wall masses, and painful, bony metastases. Since the first reported use of thermal ablation for lung cancer in 2000 there has been an explosive use of the procedure, and by 2010 the number of procedures to ...

Thermal Latency in Radiofrequency Ablation

Circulation, 1996
Background Progression of unintentionally induced atrioventricular delay is occasionally observed directly after termination of radiofrequency delivery in the vicinity of the atrioventricular node. We postulated that the application of a radiofrequency pulse may result in a tissue temperature rise that continues after the pulse.

Imaging appearances following thermal ablation

Clinical Radiology, 2008
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has an increasingly important role in the management of a number of solid tumours. Treatments usually take place at specialist centres that draw patients from a wide geographical area, but follow-up imaging is often undertaken at the referring institution. This review aims to describe and illustrate the range of normal and

Radiofrequency Thermal Ablation

2007
Over the last decade, radiofrequency thermal ablation (RFA) has become an accepted treatment modality for unresectable primary and metastatic liver tumors. It can be performed either percutaneously, laparoscopically, or via an open approach. With experience, indications and selection criteria have been determined for each tumor type. RFA has become the
