  • Title: Combined MRI and fluoroscopic guided radiofrequency ablation of a renal tumor.
    Author: Fotiadis NI, Sabharwal T, Gangi A, Adam A.
    Journal: Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol; 2009 Jan; 32(1):184-7. PubMed ID: 18392889.
    Abstract:
    Percutaneous CT- and ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has been shown to have very promising medium-term results. We present a unique case of recurrent RCC after partial nephrectomy in a patient with a single kidney and impaired renal function. This tumor could not be visualized either with CT or with ultrasound. A combination of magnetic resonance imaging and fluoroscopic guidance was used, to the best of our knowledge for the first time, to ablate the tumor with radiofrequency. The patient was cancer-free and off dialysis at 30-month follow up.
