Radiofrequency thermal ablation of renal graft neoplasms: case series and literature review.
Clinical Transplantation 2018 October 25
PURPOSE: To evaluate the feasibility, safety, and effectiveness of minimally invasive percutaneous radiofrequency thermal ablation (RFA) in renal graft neoplasms.
METHODS: Three patients with transplanted kidney neoplasms were treated in our Centre with US-guided RFA; pre- and post-procedural serum creatinine levels were registered, as well as peri-procedural and long-term minor and major complications and deaths. Patients underwent laboratory and CT follow-up to the renal function and tumour response evaluation, respectively.
RESULTS: All patients were successfully treated, with a complete necrosis of the target lesion, a low rate of complications, and no significative alterations in post-procedural serum creatinine levels. Two patients underwent a 1-year follow-up, with stable complete response.
CONCLUSIONS: RFA of renal graft neoplasms is a feasible, safe, and effective treatment. This procedure should be considered as a viable therapeutic option, granting good results, and preserving renal function. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
