Radiation enteritis in the patient with a fecal ostomy.
Y our patient presents with a history of ovarian carcinoma, 2 years post pelvic exenteration, chemotherapy, and pelvic radiation therapy. She has a colostomy and an ileal conduit. She now is experiencing extremely high output from her colostomy, symptoms of dehydration, frequent leakage and skin irritation, and a short wear time of 24 to 48 hours for her colostomy pouching system. After her phy...
متن کاملPulmonary radiofrequency ablation in a single lung patient.
Recurrence in the contralateral lung of patients who have undergone pneumonectomy for lung cancer is often not surgically treatable. Percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of tumours is an emerging minimally invasive technique which has recently been used in the treatment of lung cancer. The case history is presented of a patient who had previously undergone pneumonectomy in whom recurrence...
متن کاملPapillary Thyroid Carcinoma Treated with Radiofrequency Ablation in a Patient with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: A Case Report
Standard therapy has not been established for thyroid cancer when a thyroidectomy is contraindicated due to systemic disease. Herein, we reported a patient who had hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and papillary thyroid carcinoma treated by radiofrequency ablation because of inability to tolerate a thyroidectomy. Radiofrequency ablation can be used to treat thyroid cancer when surgery is not feasible...
متن کاملAccurate assessment of patient effective radiation dose and associated detriment risk from radiofrequency catheter ablation procedures.
BACKGROUND Radiofrequency (RF) cardiac catheter ablation procedures may require extended fluoroscopic exposure resulting in elevated radiation risk. The aim of the present study was to accurately establish RF ablation radiation risk levels and to provide means for accurate patient risk estimation from studies performed in any electrophysiology laboratory. METHODS AND RESULTS Fluoroscopy requi...
متن کاملPatient Characteristics and the Incidence of Radiation-induced Dermatitis Following Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) exposes patients to fixed angle radiation for extended periods of time. We investigated the incidence and characteristics of radiation-induced dermatitis (RID) associated with RFCA. SUBJECTS AND METHODS We screened 1347 consecutive patients from 2000 to 2011 who underwent RFCA for any indication and reviewed patients with derma...
