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.
