Key Words Radiofrequency; Ablation; Endoscopic retrograde colangiopancreatography; Malignant biliary strictures
Core Tip Intraductal radiofrequency ablation (RFA) represents a procedure that encompasses the use of a biliary catheter device, via an endoscopic approach, mainly endoscopic retrograde colangiopancreatography. Indications for biliary RFA described in literature are: Palliative treatment of malignant biliary strictures, avoiding stent occlusion, ablating ingrowth of blocked metal stents, prolonging stent patency, ablating residual adenomatous tissue after endoscopic ampullectomy. Existing studies suggest a favorable effect on survival and stent patency. Moreover, up-to-date feeling is that evidence supporting RFA is limited because most of the analyses have been achieved using a retrospective design, on diminutive and dissimilar cohorts of patients.
