No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study was conducted to provide preliminary data for the main trial to compare efficacy between bipolar radiofrequency ablation (RFA) using twin internally cooled-wet electrodes and switching monopolar RFA using separable clustered electrodes in the treatment of recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after locoregional treatment.

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

Bipolar RFA

Bipolar RFA in which RF currents flow between two electrodes

DEVICE

SM-RFA

Monopolar RFA using multiple electrodes with switching mode

DEVICE

Twin internally cooled-wet electrodes

Saline-enhanced twin internally cooled electrodes allow intratumoral injection of a saline solution during the application of the RF current that alters the tissue conductivity

DEVICE

Separable clustered electrodes

A separable clustered electrode is similar to a clustered electrode, although it differs from a conventional clustered electrode in that each individual electrode is separable.
