Official Title: Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) for the Treatment of Liver Abscesses in Patients With Chronic Granulomatous Disease
Brief Summary:
Background:
- Abscesses are a pocket of infection in an organ or tissue. Patients with a disease called chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) often develop these abscesses. CGD is an inherited disorder that affects how white blood cells function. Liver abscesses in people with CGD often require surgery to remove them and treat the infection. However, some people with CGD cannot have full surgery because it would be too risky. Researchers want to try a procedure called radiofrequency ablation (RFA) to treat these liver abscesses. RFA can usually be done without a major operation. This study will see if RFA is a safe and effective treatment for liver abscesses in patients with CGD.
Objectives:
- To see if RFA is a safe and effective treatment for CGD-related liver abscesses.
Eligibility:
- Individuals between 18 and 75 years of age with CGD who have liver abscesses that cannot be treated with surgery.
