[EN] Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) with internally cooled needle-like electrodes is a technique widely used to destroy cancer cells. In a previous study we obtained the analytical solution of the biological heat equation ...
[EN] Purpose To characterize the coagulation zones created by two radiofrequency (RF)-based hemostatic devices: one comprised an internally cooled monopolar electrode and the other comprised externally irrigated bipolar ...
[EN] Purpose: To develop computer models to mimic the impedance-controlled pulsing protocol implemented in radiofrequency (RF) generators used for clinical practice of radiofrequency ablation (RFA), and to assess the ...

[EN] It has been suggested that during RF thermal ablation of biological tissue the thermal lesion could reach an equilibrium size after 1-2 minutes. Our objective was to determine under which circumstances of electrode ...
Purpose: To evaluate the impact of using monopolar thermal coagulation based on
radiofrequency (RF) currents on intraoperative blood loss during liver resection.
Materials and methods: A prospective randomized controlled ...

Purpose: To study the relationship between roll-off (sudden increase in impedance) and spatial distribution of dehydrated tissue during RF ablation using a cooled electrode (temperatures around 100°C).
Methods: We used ...
