Cryoablation -- A new treatment option for some kidney tumor patients
Mayo Clinic researchers report that freezing kidney tumors through percutaneous cryoablation shows promise for patients who are not good candidates for surgery. Their early findings showing short-term success in more than 90 percent of selected patients are published in this month’s issue of Radiology. The standard treatment for kidney tumors is surgery, providing a high likelihood of a l...New Wave UP Ablation Chamber w/200 mJ Nd:YAG laser from Ocean Optics
Description:The LIBS-ELITE houses Ocean Optics LIBS2000+ Spectrometers (sold separately) in the New Wave Research Universal Platform (UP) Ablation Chamber to offer numerous configuration options and precise sample position control. The systems features include a high-power 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser, sample mapping and targeting functions, precise X-Y sample positioning, laser spot diameter control from 20 m to 12...Radiofrequency catheter ablation safe for infants
Treating a rapid heart beat by burning away small amounts of heart tissue is as safe for babies as it is for older children, according to new research.// The radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) treatment involves threading a catheter - with an electrode at its tip - into the area of the heart which is struggling with an uncontrolled heartbeat, known as tachycardia. A mild painless...Catheter Ablation Helpful For Patients With Congestive Heart Failure
Catheter ablation is a non-surgical technique used to eliminate alternate pathways in the heart that can cause abnormal heartbeats. // Researchers now say that congestive heart failure patients who also have atrial fibrillation a type of irregular heart rhythm experience significant improvement in cardiac function and quality of life following catheter ablation. 58 patients with congest...Radiofrequency Ablation Useful in Treating Ovarian Cancer Metastasis
Percutaneous radiofrequency ablation, a procedure that uses a high frequency electric current to kill tumor cells, is effective in achieving local control// in selected patients with metastasis from ovarian cancer, according to a preliminary study conducted by the department of radiology at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, MA. The study consisted of six patients with advanced...RF Ablation a Safe Alternative Option for Treating Lung Cancer
Lung cancer patients unable to undergo surgery have another safe and effective treatment option: radiofrequency (RF) ablation//, according to a new study. The Brown Medical School and Rhode Island Hospital study showed that RF ablation used to treat early-stage, inoperable cancer resulted in outcomes that were equal to or better than those achieved through external beam radiation (EB...Cryoablation: A New Treatment Option for Some Kidney Tumor Patients
