Initial data on a novel endovascular radiofrequency catheter when used for arterial occlusion in liver cancer

Original language description

Summary: To assess the safety and effectiveness of a newly designed endovascular radiofrequency (RF) catheter (VesCoag) when used for arterial occlusion in the management of liver cancer. METHODS: Patients considered for the study had either primary or secondary cancer of the liver, which was not suitable for initial surgical resection. The primary endpoint of the study was whether VesCoag could be manipulated into the target blood vessel and the secondary endpoint was whether on angiography the blood vessel had been sealed. RESULTS: VesCoag was used in 13 patients. The indications for treatment were metastatic disease in 4, hepatocellular carcinoma in 7, and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma in 2. In all cases, VesCoag was manipulated into the target vessel for activation. There were no technical problems such as vessel dissection or rupture. The average fluoroscopic time was 12.86 min and the mean duration of probe activation was 240 (range 20?600) seconds. The lowest wattage used was
