CT-guided Instillation of 5% Dextrose in Water into the Anterior Pararenal Space before Renal Radiofrequency Ablation in a Porcine Model: Positive and Negative Effects

CT-guided D5W instillation has a positive effect in reducing the amount of bowel adhesion injury during RF ablation. However, this technique may limit the area of coagulation necrosis in a swine model. Longer term pathologic evaluation is necessary to fully understand the effects of D5W instillation.
