Microwave Ablation of Renal Cell Carcinoma of the Transplanted Kidney: Two Cases

Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiology
Evaldo FaviMariano Ferraresso

Abstract

Thermal ablative techniques have been increasingly recognized as a valuable alternative to graftectomy and nephron-sparing surgery for the treatment of small neoplasms arising in the transplanted kidney. However, long-term efficacy and safety data are still lacking. In particular, current experience with microwave ablation is limited to a very recent single-centre series of three cases. We herein report two microwave ablations of renal cell carcinoma of the kidney allograft. The procedures were successfully performed under ultrasound guidance with complete tumour necrosis, no peri-operative complications, and preserved renal function. No recurrences were observed after 3 years of follow-up.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
