Comparative StudyDual-probe radiofrequency ablation: an in vitro experimental study in bovine liver.
To determine whether alternative radiofrequency (RF) application with dual probes has advantages over sequential or simultaneous RF application for creating larger coagulation necrosis. ⋯ The alternative RF application creates larger, more regular ablation zones than either the sequential or simultaneous RF application. This result suggests that use of an alternating RF power application will improve the results of RF ablation for the treatment of larger tumors.
