View on PubMedtier3 Severe radiation-induced injury after cardiac catheter ablation: a case requiring free anterolateral thigh flap and vastus lateralis muscle flap reconstruction on the upper arm.
Abstract summary (English) Although cases of radiation-induced skin injury after fluoroscopically-guided procedures have been reported since 1996, diagnosis and treatment of such injury remain difficult. We present the case of a patient who complained of two ulcers, one on his right arm and one on his back, and limited motion of the right elbow joint after repeated cardiac radiofrequency catheter ablations. After resection of the skin ulcer...

Abstract summary (English) Monopolar radiofrequency (RF) devices are well established treatment modalities for tightening facial skin. A 60-year-old woman presented with a desire to tighten the lax skin and improve the appearance of both upper arms. A combination unipolar and bipolar RF device may provide volume reduction as well as skin tightening in the upper arm.

Abstract summary (English) BACKGROUND: Subsurface thermistor-controlled monopolar radiofrequency (SMRF) is an emerging technology designed to offer a minimally invasive option for tightening of lax skin. The versatility of this technique allows it to be applied to virtually any body site. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of SMRF for tightening of posterior upper arm skin laxity.
