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

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 …

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 …

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 …

BACKGROUND: Percutaneous image-guided radiofrequency ablation is being promoted as
a novel technique with a low morbidity rate in the treatment of inoperable lung tumors. The …

OBJECTIVE. This study retrospectively evaluates complications after lung radiofrequency
ablation (RFA). MATERIALS AND METHODS. Complications were assessed for each RFA …

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

We describe two cases of intractable pneumothorax that were attributed to a bronchopleural
fistula (BPF) after radiofrequency ablation of lung tumors. In both cases, radiofrequency …

Today, radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of primary and metastatic lung tumor is increasingly
used. Because RFA is most often used with curative intent, preablation workup must be a …
