Abstract
Radiofrequency (RF) coagulation of skeletal metastases is usually performed for pain relief. However, patients with solitary skeletal metastasis may benefit from more aggressive attempts to achieve local control. The authors report a case in which an arterial tourniquet was used to enhance the effectiveness of RF treatment of a calcaneal renal cell metastasis, leading to long-lasting local control with preservation of ambulation.
