Mid-term results of a closed biatrial procedure using bipolar radiofrequency ablation concomitantly performed with non-mitral cardiac operations.
The long-term success rate of the Cox maze III procedure is excellent, although it has not been widely adopted because of the need for extensive incisions of the atria. In this study, we report our experience with a closed biatrial procedure using bipolar radiofrequency (RF) ablation for treating atrial fibrillation (AF) during non-mitral cardiac operations. Beginning in December 2004, a total ...
متن کاملHaemostatic partial nephrectomy using bipolar radiofrequency ablation
Objectives: To present our experience with laparoscopic radical cystoprostatectomy and bilateral nephroureterectomy for organ-confined, muscle-invasive transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the bladder in two patients with dialysis-dependent end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Patients and Methods: Two men aged 77 and 65 years with organ-confined, muscle-invasive TCC of the urinary bladder and pre-e...
متن کاملHaemostatic partial nephrectomy using bipolar radiofrequency ablation.
OBJECTIVE To determine whether an electrode array with a bipolar radiofrequency ablation (RFA) energy source can be used to perform a haemostatic partial nephrectomy by simultaneously ablating and coagulating renal tissue. MATERIALS AND METHODS Lower-pole partial nephrectomy was performed in 12 porcine kidneys using a bipolar RFA system. Intraoperative ultrasonography was used to identify and...
متن کاملBipolar radiofrequency ablation of the kidney: comparison with monopolar radiofrequency ablation.
PURPOSE We report initial ex vivo and in vivo studies using bipolar radiofrequency (RF) ablation of porcine kidneys. An internal ground electrode is positioned in the kidney opposite the RF electrode, resulting in ablation of all the intervening renal tissue. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ex vivo preparations of 10 porcine kidneys were perfused continuously with Ringer's solution and treated with eit...
متن کاملA New Radiofrequency Ablation Procedure to Treat Sacroiliac Joint Pain.
BACKGROUND Low back pain may arise from disorders of the sacroiliac joint in up to 30% of patients. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of the nerves innervating the sacroiliac joint has been shown to be a safe and efficacious strategy. OBJECTIVES We aimed to develop a new RFA technique to relieve low back pain secondary to sacroiliac joint disorders. STUDY DESIGN Methodology development with val...
