Percutaneous Radiofrequency Ablation of Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Assessment of Safety in Patients With Ascites
American Journal of Roentgenology, 11/06/09

Cha J et al. – There were no cases of mortality or major complications that developed after RFA. No significant difference in the maximum thickness of the perihepatic ascites and in the hemoglobin level between the pre– and postprocedural measurements was detected. Hemoperitoneum as a minor complication was noted in two of 19 patients. However, in those two patients, vital signs were stable, follow–up laboratory data were normal, and hemoperitoneum had been completely absorbed on CT images obtained 1 month after RFA.
