Abstract

Percutaneous guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has become a valued tool in the management of patients with primary hepatic and secondary hepatic metastatic disease. A recent FDA approved endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) guided RFA probe now offers promise to help manage such patients. However, there are no data to determine the ideal power setting and duration of ablation needed to effectively treat hepatic masses. The aim of the study was to evaluate the macroscopic zone of hepatic injury for EUS RFA using a variety of settings within a fresh porcine hepatic specimen.
