Prolonged Antibiotic Prophylaxis in Patients with Bilioenteric Anastomosis Undergoing Percutaneous Radiofrequency Ablation

Preexisting BEA is a risk factor for formation of hepatic abscesses after RF ablation. An antibiotic prophylaxis regimen before the intervention and for a prolonged period after the intervention that covers anaerobic bacteria for at least 10 days is presented. Combined therapy of transarterial chemoembolization and RF ablation increases the risk for complications in patients with known BEA.
