Abstract

The aims of this study were to determine the feasibility and efficacy of percutaneous radiofrequency ablation in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma waiting for liver transplantation and to compare the radiologic and pathologic findings. Twenty-six patients with 35 hepatocellular carcinomas were addressed for transplantation. Complications of the procedures were recorded. Primary and secondary technique effectiveness and causes of exclusion from the waiting list were assessed. After transplantation, tumor recurrence was evaluated for at least 1 year in all patients. Radiologic-pathologic comparison of the explant was performed. Percutaneous radiofrequency ablation was performed in 21 (81%) patients for 28 tumors. Both minor and major complications occurred in three patients (10% each per session). The rates of primary technique effectiveness, secondary technique effectiveness for percutaneous radiofrequency ablation alone (seven tumors), and combined percutaneous radiofrequency ablation and transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (three tumors) were 56%, 76%, and 86%, respectively. After a mean follow-up of 11.9 months, 16 patients (76%) received transplants, whereas five patients were excluded from the waiting list because...Continue Reading
