Bipolar Radiofrequency Ablation Using Wet-Cooled Electrodes: An In Vitro Experimental Study in Bovine Liver

¹ All authors: Department of Radiology and Institute of Radiation Medicine, Seoul National University College of Medicine and Clinical Research Institute, Seoul National University, 28 Yeongon dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul 110-744, South Korea.

OBJECTIVE. Our aim was to evaluate the performance of hypertonic saline (HS)-enhanced bipolar radiofrequency ablation using wet-cooled electrodes versus monopolar radiofrequency ablation to create coagulation necrosis in explanted bovine liver.

CONCLUSION. HS-enhanced bipolar radiofrequency ablation using the wet-cooled electrodes shows better performance in creating coagulation necrosis than the monopolar mode.
