The purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility, safety and efficacy of radiofrequency
ablation (RFA) with the use of artificial ascites for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) adjacent …

Background Ultrasound-guided procedures are sometimes of limited use because the tumor
is located under the diaphragm or near the surface of the liver. We investigated the safety …

Ultrasound (US)-guided percutanoeus radiofrequency (RF) ablation is difficult to perform for
treating a hepatic tumor abutting the diaphragm due to a poor sonic window and high risk of …

OBJECTIVE. Our objective was to assess the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of percutaneous
radiofrequency ablation with artificial ascites for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in the …

Objective To assess the safety and therapeutic efficacy of a percutaneous radiofrequency
(RF) ablation for the hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) abutting the diaphragm. Materials and …

OBJECTIVE. This study was designed to assess whether artificial ascites has a heat-sink
effect on the ablation zone for percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of hepatic …

OBJECTIVE. This study was designed to assess the effect of artificial ascites on thermal
protection of the diaphragm and the therapeutic efficacy of this technique during …

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy and safety of
percutaneous radiofrequency ablation in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinomas …

Aim: We surveyed multiple centers to identify types and frequency of complications and
mortality rate associated with radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of hepatocellular carcinoma …

Aim To compare the long-term local control of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and risk of
