Introduction: The ablation technique is one of the important therapeutic interventions for treatment of AV Nodal tachyarrhythmia. Different animal models have been developed to study the effects of ablation on the functional interanodal structure. The aim of the present study was to develop a new model of computer analysis to produce lesions by using direct voltage in isolated perfused rabbi...

Background: Local ablative treatments play an important role for patients who cannot be treated surgically. Radiofrequency ablation is a well-established alternative to surgical treatment of thyroid nodules, however it also has disadvantages. Microwave ablation (MWA) is a new minimally invasive treatment promising several improvements. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the eff...

conclusions the incidence of liver abscesses after liver cancer thermal ablation is low. child-pugh class b and class c cirrhosis, biliary tract disease, diabetes mellitus, and porta hepatis tumors are four significant risk factors. combined ablation and pei reduces the rate of liver abscesses. background radiofrequency ablation (rfa) and microwave ablation (mwa) are the most frequently used th...

Objective: The current study aimed to determine the efficacy of radioiodine-131 (131I) ablation therapy with thyroid hormone replacement one day before 131I administration in patients with well-differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). Methods: This retrospective study included 29 patients who underwent 131I therapies twice for DTC during 6-12 months.  Since all the patients obviously had residual l...

conclusions radiofrequency ablation may be used successfully in the treatment of parathyroid adenoma when a patient cannot tolerate surgery. case presentation a 47-year-old patient was referred to our hospital (namazi hospital, shiraz, iran) in april, 2015 with intracranial hemorrhage, as well as high serum calcium and pth (parathyroid hormone) levels (12.1 mg/dl and 1062 pg/ml, respectively), ...

av-node modification by catheter rf energy delivery is treatment of choice in the symptomatic patients with avnrt. this study included 30 patients with avnrt (19 women, 11 men). we did slow pathway ablation in 29 cases successfully. maximum effective energy delivery was 40 watts for 40 msec. 1:1 av conduction increased from 290±40 msec before ablation to 340±65 msec after ablation. also av-node...

background: the rationale was to develop an ablation approach to destroy regions of tumor resistant to radiation and thus reduce the time required for whole tumor ablation, while improving overall tumor control after radiotherapy. materials and methods: the system is composed of a micro positron emission tomography (mpet), 7t magnetic resonance imaging (mri), and a customized mri-compatible foc...
