Computed tomography (CT)-guided transthoracic radiofrequency ablation was performed for nine liver tumors of eight patients, which were located in the hepatic dome and undetectable by ultrasound (US). A total 11 sessions of ablation were performed. Complications were noted in five sessions (45%) and no complications were noted in six sessions (55%). Pneumothorax was noted in five sessions (45%), including two sessions (18%) with major pneumothorax requiring a chest tube. Major complications were seen in two sessions (18%), major pneumothorax and both major pneumothorax and moderate pleural effusion, respectively. CT-guided transthoracic radiofrequency ablation may be an alternative for treatments of liver tumor in the hepatic dome.
