Abstract
Pneumothorax and pleural effusion are common complications after radiofrequency (RF) ablation of lung tumors ( 1 Hiraki T. Tajiri N. Mimura H. et al. Pneumothorax, pleural effusion, and chest tube placement after radiofrequency ablation of lung tumors: Incidence and risk factors. Radiology. 2006; 241: 275-283 Crossref PubMed Scopus (149) Google Scholar ). Massive hemorrhage and hemoptysis are rare but potentially fatal complications ( 2 Vaughn C. Mychaskiw G. Sewell P. Massive hemorrhage during radiofrequency ablation of a pulmonary neoplasm. Anesth Analg. 2002; 94: 1149-1151 Crossref PubMed Scopus (91) Google Scholar , 3 Sakurai J. Mimura H. Gobara H. Hiraki T. Kanazawa S. Pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysm related to radiofrequency ablation of lung tumor. Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol. 2010; 33: 413-416 Crossref PubMed Scopus (32) Google Scholar , 4 Yamakado K. Takaki H. Takao M. et al. Massive hemoptysis from pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysm caused by lung radiofrequency ablation: successful treatment by coil embolization.
