Procedure-related complications tend to be unusual after RFA and tend to be dependent on the part of the body being treated. The risks of treating patients with liver disease include bleeding around the liver (subcapsular hematoma), fluid collection around the lung (pleural effusion), fluid collection around the liver (ascites), obstruction of the bile ducts within the liver, inflammation of the gallbladder, shoulder pain due to inflammation of the diaphragm, and infection with possible abscess formation.
