Radiofrequency ablation is a minimally invasive medical procedure used to treat chronic pain. In this lesson, we will explore the procedure and its...
The ablation time was shorter (5.30 vs. 7.75 min, P < 0.001) and the ablation energy was less (10.2 vs. 18.0 kJ, P < 0.001) in multistep RFA than in single-step RFA. There were no significant differences in neonatal outcomes. Conclusions: Overall survival rates were similar between the...
How does a Radiofrequency Ablation work? This minimally invasive procedure is performed by our specialist using x-ray guidance (fluoroscopy) to direct the RFA needle toward the medial or lateral branch nerves. Once the needle is placed accurately, an active electrode is inserted through the needle...
Sometimes the procedure has a name associated to the type of pain that it treats, such as: Lumbar radiofrequency ablation: Treats the facet joints (areas where bones are connected to the spine) in the lower back Cervical radiofrequency ablation: Treats the cervical (neck) facet joints to mana...

A radiofrequency ablation is a minimally invasive procedure that destroys the nerve fibers carrying pain signals to the brain.
Radiofrequency ablationis a treatment where radio waves are used to create heat and destroy a part of a nerve. This technique is most commonly used to treat pain that is originating in the facet joints of the spine. The procedure is used to destroy the end of the small nerves that provide...
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of tumor is a procedure in which a needle electrode is inserted (via image guidance) into a lesion (tumor) and electrical energy generates heat to destroy cancer cells. This can either be performed percutaneously or through an intraoperative approach. The procedure ...
Conclusion The novel modified epicardial RF ablation procedure is safe, feasible, and effective. It may be useful in selecting the best ablation approaches for patients with AF and aortic valve disease. Citation: JIANGZhao-lei, MEIJu, MANan, TANGMin, DINGFang-bao, BAOChun-rong, HEYi, YINHang...
Procedure duration in the MediGuide group was significantly lower than the duration in the conventional group (103 vs. 142min, =0.03). The fluoroscopic time was significantly less during the procedures performed with the MediGuide technology when compared to the control group (8 vs. 21min, ...
