Percutaneous Radiofrequency Thermal Ablation with Hypertonic Saline Injection: In Vivo Study in a Rabbit Liver Model

Abstract

RFA using HS instillation can increase the volume of RFAinduced necrosis of the liver with a single application, thereby simplifying and accelerating the treatment of larger lesions. In addition, HS instillation before RFA more effectively achieves coagulation necrosis than HS instillation before and during RFA.
