Core Tip	Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma is the second most common primary tumor in the liver. Its incidence is increasing in western countries. Ultrasound-guided percutaneous ablation techniques, initially used for the ablation of hepatocellular carcinoma, are now successfully used to treat intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. The most common thermal ablation techniques include radiofrequency and microwave ablation. A new non-thermal technique called irreversible electroporation has recently been introduced. This review describes the safety, efficacy, and clinical indications for these ablation techniques.
