Thermal destruction mediated by radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is gaining attention as an alternative treatment for patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC), particularly in those who are not candidates for open surgery. Treatment of central tumours is occasionally associated with complications such as ureteric stricture, injury to the psoas muscle, haematuria and vascular laceration.
We have used infusion of cold saline during RFA, through a retrograde ureteric catheter with its tip in the renal pelvis, in a patient with a central renal tumour.
We believe this process to have successfully avoided the risk of thermal injury.
射频消融(RFA)介导的热破坏作为肾细胞癌(RCC)患者的一种替代治疗方法正受到关注,尤其是对于那些不适合开放手术的患者。治疗中央型肿瘤偶尔会伴有诸如输尿管狭窄、腰大肌损伤、血尿和血管撕裂等并发症。
我们在一名患有中央型肾肿瘤的患者中,通过逆行输尿管导管将其尖端置于肾盂内,在射频消融期间输注冷盐水。
我们认为这一过程成功避免了热损伤风险。
