Efficacy of Endobiliary Radiofrequency Ablation using a Novel Endoluminal Radiofrequency Ablation Catheter in a Swine Model.

CONCLUSION: Endobiliary RFA using a novel RFA catheter resulted in controlled ablation with a linear relationship between microscopic ablation depth and ablation time in a swine model. Clinical studies are needed to validate the safe energy condition of endobiliary RFA in malignant biliary obstruction. PMID: 30380344 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
