Percutaneous Radiofrequency Ablation of Lung Tumors in Contact with the Aorta: Dangerous and Difficult but Efficient: A Report of Two Cases
Abstract
Percutaneous imaging-guided tumor ablation is a widely accepted method for the treatment of primary and secondary lung tumors. Although it is generally feasible and effective for local tumor control, some conditions may affect its feasibility and effectiveness. Herein the authors report their experience with two patients with lung malignancies contiguous to the aorta who were successfully treated with radiofrequency ablation, even though it initially appeared highly risky due to the possible fatal complications.
