Abstract: BACKGROUND The effectiveness of endobiliary radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is still uncertain, especially in patients with malignant hilar biliary obstruction (MHBO). We examined the efficacy of endobiliary RFA followed by bilateral self-expandable metal stent (SEMS) placement… read more here.

Abstract: Endobiliary radiofrequency ablation (EB‐RFA) is a new endoscopic palliation and adjunctive tool. Although EB‐RFA is performed worldwide, a possibility of iatrogenic thermal injury leading to perforation or bleeding still remains. Therefore, we aimed to assess… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0206694
Abstract: Background Most patients with distal extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma have developed jaundice or cholangitis at the time of initial diagnosis, which can delay surgery. We aim to evaluate the actual EB-RFA ablation volume and validated the clinical… read more here.
