03/28/2017 - "Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is currently the most popular and used ablation modality for the treatment of non surgical patients with primary and secondary liver tumors, but in the last years microwave ablation (MWA) is being technically improved and widely rediscovered for clinical use. "
10/01/2016 - "Radiofrequency ablation (RFA), the most commonly used technique, has an 80-90% reported rate of complete ablation, with the best results obtained in tumors less than 2-3cm in diameter. "
01/01/2016 - "For patients with high-grade dysplasia or intramucosal neoplasia, radiofrequency ablation with or without endoscopic resection for visible lesions is currently the most effective and safe treatment available. "

07/01/2023 - "Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization and radiofrequency ablation were the most effective treatments for intrahepatic metastasis, and surgery was the most effective treatment for extrahepatic metastasis. "
01/01/2022 - "Of the two patients, one had a complete radiological response of mediastinal masses with sustained remission over 3 years, and the other one with widespread disease had a good partial response over 20 months and achieved no evidence of disease radiologically after undergoing percutaneous radiofrequency ablation for residual liver metastases. "
01/01/2021 - "The goal of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) for patients with colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) but were contraindicated for resection and radiofrequency ablation. "
01/01/2021 - "The strategy of hybrid treatment involving surgery and radiofrequency ablation may offer good outcomes for patients with multiple lung metastases."
12/01/2019 - "Albeit radical resection, he developed liver metastasis after 2 years, for which he underwent radio frequency ablation and embolization, and was treated successfully with different subsequent lines of systemic therapy. "

04/01/2007 - "This study compares clinical results of the standard Maze III operation, a highly effective treatment for atrial fibrillation, to less complex variations of the Maze III operation utilizing unipolar and bipolar radiofrequency ablation and pulmonary vein isolation. "
11/01/2012 - "Radiofrequency ablation was highly effective for all ATs, but the recurrence rate of AFL and atrial fibrillation was high at 22% and 27%, respectively, during 19 ± 15 months of follow-up. "
04/01/2008 - "With electrogram-guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of long-lasting persistent atrial fibrillation (AF), the best results have been reported when complex fractionated electrograms (CFAEs) in both the left (LA) and right (RA) atria were targeted. "
11/01/2000 - "Intraoperative radiofrequency ablation has recently proven extremely effective in atrial fibrillation surgery, allowing a further simplification of the procedures. "
01/01/2022 - "Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) represents the mainstay of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation, and PVI with cryoballoon catheter (CB) ablation (CB-A) has proven to be as effective and safe as radiofrequency ablation (RF-A). "

03/01/2010 - "In this article we will review the basis of radiofrequency ablation and some of the most common applications in the management of chronic pain."
02/21/2020 - "MacNab criteria showed excellent outcomes in 17 cases, good outcomes in 11 cases and fair outcomes in 2 cases Sinuvertebral Nerve and Basivertebral Nerve Radiofrequency Ablation is effective in improving the patients' pain, disability status and patient outcome in our study."
08/01/2016 - "Partial or complete tearing has previously been treated with debridement or radiofrequency ablation with good results; however, a subset of patients will continue to experience persistent pain or instability with injury to this structure. "
01/01/2022 - "A multidisciplinary approach using several nonsurgical and minimally invasive methods (e.g., radiofrequency ablation, vertebroplasty, balloon kyphoplasty) is key to successful management, and combining these procedures is effective against spinal metastatic pain."
01/01/2021 - "Pain symptoms of 9 patients were significantly relieved after percutaneous radiofrequency ablation. "
