  • Title: CT-guided radiofrequency ablation of a pulmonary metastasis followed by surgical resection.
    Author: Steinke K, Habicht JM, Thomsen S, Soler M, Jacob AL.
    Journal: Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol; 2002; 25(6):543-6. PubMed ID: 12391518.
    Abstract:
    Outpatient CT-guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of a pulmonary metastasis followed by surgical resection and histopathological analysis was performed in a 72-year-old lady suffering from a peritoneal leiomyosarcoma. Histological workup 3 weeks post-ablation showed complete devitalization of the metastasis. This case report demonstrates that complete thermal destruction of a pulmonary metastasis by percutaneous image-guided RFA is possible.
