Initial clinical experience with the first FDA-approved sEEG-guided radiofrequency ablation system featuring real-time temperature monitoring: A case series

A new FDA-approved, hollow sEEG electrode technology permits safe sEEG-RFA lesioning, with a positive experience for both the patient and clinical team. The authors reaffirm use of this strategic technique as a diagnostic and prognostic tool, with possibility of secondary therapeutic, ablative effects. This development represents a significant advancement in the work-up of patients with intractable epilepsy, who are undergoing sEEG for invasive evaluation.

Abstract

A new FDA-approved, hollow sEEG electrode technology permits safe sEEG-RFA lesioning, with a positive experience for both the patient and clinical team. The authors reaffirm use of this strategic technique as a diagnostic and prognostic tool, with possibility of secondary therapeutic, ablative effects. This development represents a significant advancement in the work-up of patients with intractable epilepsy, who are undergoing sEEG for invasive evaluation.
