Tumor ablation by using radio-frequency energy has begun to receive increased attention
as an effective minimally invasive approach for the treatment of patients with a variety of …

BACKGROUND: We sought to systematically combine the evidence on efficacy of disease
management programs (DMPs) in the treatment of congestive heart failure (CHF), to identify …

PURPOSE: To compare the effectiveness of radio-frequency (RF) ablation with that of
percutaneous ethanol injection in the treatment of small hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). …

PURPOSE: To report complications encountered by members of a collaborative group who
performed radio-frequency (RF) ablation in patients with focal liver cancer. MATERIALS AND …

PURPOSE: To study local therapeutic efficacy, side effects, and complications of radiofrequency
(RF) ablation in the treatment of medium and large hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) …

PURPOSE: To describe the results of an ongoing radio-frequency (RF) ablation study in
patients with hepatic metastases from colorectal carcinoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In …

Background It is unclear whether an evaluation incorporating coronary computed tomographic
angiography (CCTA) is more effective than standard evaluation in the emergency …

PURPOSE: To assess the feasibility and safety of using cooled-tip electrodes to increase
the volume of coagulation necrosis obtained or reduce the number of treatment sessions …
