“…A recently published comparative study revealed that cryoablation of renal tumors results in similar outcomes compared with RF ablation. 4 Although these results need to be substantiated with randomized studies, many interventional radiologists prefer cryoablation over RF ablation for several reasons. These include less procedural pain and thus decreased anesthesia use, and real-time visualization of the ablation zone.…”

The authors describe a case in which a patient underwent percutaneous cryoablation of a suspected right renal cell carcinoma complicated by bleeding. Urgent angiography revealed a lower renal pole arteriovenous (AV) fistula, correlating with the recent treatment site. This AV fistula was successfully treated with coil and Gelfoam embolization. Three days later, the patient's hemoglobin dropped following dialysis. Computed tomography (CT) imaging revealed an increase in the size of the pararenal hematoma. There were multiple pseudoaneurysms as well as a small AV fistula on repeat angiography. The right main renal artery was coil embolized.

“…Biopsy is not performed in some percutaneous series [49]. Surgeons likely have a more aggressive approach to treating renal cancer and perform every ablation under the assumption that the lesion is cancerous.…”

Multiple modalities exist for the management of small renal tumors, including active surveillance, extirpation (radical nephrectomy and partial nephrectomy), and ablative therapies. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is an alternative to extirpative surgery for renal tumors. This article presents the current literature on RFA for renal tumors. We reviewed 28 RFA series in the English literature from 2003 to 2010 to assess patient selection, biopsy, renal outcomes, and oncologic outcomes.

“…For space-occupying lesions <4 cm, Georgiades et al achieved a success rate of 100% one year after ablation (36). Over a follow-up period of 3 years, Pirasteh et al demonstrated lasting treatment success in 93% of patients (37). Atwell et al reported similarly promising results for the treatment of 145 small renal tumors <3 cm (38).…”

The thermoablative techniques are an important addition to the armamentarium of effective treatments for locally confined renal tumors. The guidelines of the American and European urological societies now list thermoablation with RFA or CA as an option for the treatment of small renal tumors with curative intent. Thermoablation of renal tumors has not yet been studied in randomized controlled trials; these will be needed so that the efficacy of tumor control, survival rates, complication rates, and quality of life after treatment can be reliably evaluated to provide definitive confirmation of the value of interstitial techniques.
