Percutaneous Radiofrequency Ablation of Pulmonary Metastasis and Thoracic Paravertebral Block Under Computed Tomographic Scan Guidance: A Case Report

We report the use of TPVB to relieve postprocedural pain in a 50-year-old woman after RFA of lung metastasis. The TPVB was performed under computed tomographic guidance by the anesthesiologist. The patient was pain free (rest and mobilization) during the first postoperative 36 hours. TPVB may represent an easy, safe, and effective strategy to prevent or treat postoperative pain after pulmonary RFA.
