Laser ablation of the biliary tree: in vivo proof of concept as potential treatment of unresectable cholangiocarcinoma.

CONCLUSIONS: The temperature distribution obtained through LA proved to induce a safe and effective intraductal coagulative necrosis of biliary ducts. These results represent the basis for further experiments on tumor-bearing models for the treatment of obstructive cholangiocarcinoma. PMID: 29322853 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
