title: Arteriovenous fistula after radiofrequency ablation of a renal tumor located within the renal sinus.
abstract: Radiofrequency (RF) ablation has been accepted as a safe minimally invasive treatment for renal cell carcinoma but may cause minor complications in a small number of cases. The present report describes the occurrence of an arteriovenous fistula after RF ablation of a renal tumor located within the renal sinus that subsequently required interventional therapy.
