Background In daily clinical work, we often face delayed or recurrent pneumothorax after
radiofrequency ablation for lung tumors, but a large study on this theme has not been done …

The present study was performed to determine the frequency of the complication of
pneumothorax after radiofrequency (RF) ablation for lung neoplasms and risk factors …

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the risk factors
involved in the development of pneumothorax during radiofrequency ablation of lung …

Purpose: To retrospectively evaluate the incidence of and risk factors for pneumothorax,
pleural effusion, and chest tube placement for pneumothorax after radiofrequency (RF) …

Purpose To assess the potential risk factors for pneumothorax secondary to pulmonary
radiofrequency (RF) ablation. Materials and Methods Six electronic databases were …

AIM: To define the characteristics most likely to result in radiofrequency ablation (RFA)-
induced pneumothorax. METHODS AND MATERIALS: CT-guided RFA was performed in 79 …

Percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a new procedure to treat lung cancer.
Pneumothorax (PTX) may occur intraprocedurally, especially with the large RFA probes, and …

Acute pneumothorax is a frequent complication after percutaneous pulmonary
radiofrequency (RF) ablation. In this study we present three cases showing delayed …

Objective To retrospectively determine the frequency and risk factors of various side effects
and complications after percutaneous computed tomography–guided radiofrequency (RF) …

Purpose To describe expected imaging features on chest computed tomography (CT) after
percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of lung tumors, and their frequency over time …
