Table 2.

Ablation time to roll-off, maximum output, and coagulation diameter

Group with RFA alone Group with RFA following LP-TAE P value
Ablation time to roll-off (s) 445.1 ± 35.9 320.6 ± 30.9 P < 0.05
Maximum output (W) 87.0 ± 4.83 69.0 ± 7.38 P < 0.05
Coagulation diameter (mm) 33.2 ± 2.28 41.7 ± 3.85 P < 0.05

Significant reductions in roll-off time and output and significantly greater coagulation diameter were obtained with RFA following LP-TAE compared with RFA alone. LP-TAE: Transcatheter arterial embolization with iodized oil (Lipiodol); RFA: radiofrequency ablation.
