Efficacy and safety of percutaneous microwave ablation for hepatocellular carcinomas < 4 cm in difficult location.
CONCLUSION: Our data suggest that there is no significant difference in technical efficacy, LTP or complication rates for MWA in both difficult and normal locations.
ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: With proper patient selection, pre-procedural planning and appropriate technique, pMWA is feasible, safe and effective for small HCCs in difficult location with an acceptable range of complications.
