Objective: In Barrett's oesophagus (BE), after radiofrequency ablation (RFA), the oesophagus can be repopulated with a stratified 'neosquamous epithelium' (NeoSE). While histologically normal, the origin and clonal make-up of this NeoSE is unknown. An increased understanding of NeoSE is important as some studies suggest that NeoSE is biologically abnormal.

This case presents a patient who experienced hypoxia and hypotension following the infusion of industrial-grade anhydrous ethanol into the vein of Marshall (VOM) during atrial fibrillation radiofrequency ablation. The hypotension lasted for at least three days, requiring dopamine support, while hypoxia persisted for over a week. The prolonged nature of these symptoms posed a diagnostic challenge.

From the Department of Radiology and Imaging, Hospital for Special Surgery, New York, New York

CT-guided injection and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of the C2 dorsal root ganglion (DRG) is a safe and effective treatment for cervicogenic headache arising from C1-C2 joint arthritis. The C2 nerve root is unique in that it lacks a motor component; RFA can be performed with pain relief in exchange for occipital numbness. This video article outlines the imaging anatomy and technical considerations of this procedure.

Insufficient radio-frequency ablation (IRFA) of hepatocellular carcinoma accelerates the recurrence of residual tumor, leading to a poor prognosis. Neutrophils (NEs), as the initial leukocytes to infiltrate the IRFA-associated inflammatory area, were utilized as drug carriers due to their inherent chemotactic properties for targeted delivery of chemotherapy drugs to the inflammatory site where residual tumor persists post-IRFA. Previous research has highlighted that the immunosuppressive cytokines in the tumor microenvironment could promote the transition of NEs into a protumorigenic phenotype.
