Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol. 2002 Nov-Dec;25(6):547-9. doi: 10.1007/s00270-002-2661-y. Epub 2002 Oct 24.

Abstract

We report our experience with percutaneous image-guided radiofrequency (RF) ablation to treat isolated nodal metastases. Four patients underwent image-guided percutaneous RF ablation of metastatic disease involving retrocrural nodes, retroperitoneal nodes, or pelvic nodes. Coagulation necrosis was achieved in all cases.
