  • Title: Diaphragmatic hernia after radiofrequency ablation for hepatocellular carcinoma.
    Author: Yamagami T, Yoshimatsu R, Matsushima S, Tanaka O, Miura H, Nishimura T.
    Journal: Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol; 2011 Feb; 34 Suppl 2():S175-7. PubMed ID: 20237779.
    Abstract:
    We describe a 71-year-old woman with a hepatocellular carcinoma who underwent percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RF) with a single internally cooled electrode under computed tomography (CT) fluoroscopic guidance. Nine months after the procedure, CT images showed herniation of the large intestine into the right pleural cavity. To our knowledge this complication of RF performed with a single internally cooled electrode under CT guidance has not been previously reported.
