Complications included palatal mucosal breakdown (11 cases), temporary tongue base neuralgias (4 cases), uvular sloughing (2 cases), tongue base abscesses (2 cases), and floor of mouth edema with airway compromise (2 cases). CONCLUSIONS\/SIGNIFICANCE: This is the first paper focusing on complications of RFA. While complications from soft palate RFA present rapidly and are self\u2010limiting, complications from tongue base RFA may be delayed and life threatening. A detailed strategy is provided to avoid and treat these complications.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1067\/mhn.2001.119863","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2003,2,4]],"date-time":"2003-02-04T21:49:09Z","timestamp":1044395349000},"page":"462-467","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":38,"title":["Complications of Radiofrequency Ablation in the Treatment of Sleep\u2010Disordered Breathing"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"125","author":[{"given":"George","family":"Pazos","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2010Head and Neck Surgery Walter Reed Army Medical Center Washington DC"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Eric A.","family":"Mair","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2010Head and Neck Surgery Walter Reed Army Medical Center Washington DC"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_15_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"44","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1742-1241.1999.tb11659.x","article-title":"Recent advance in the non\u2010surgical management of atrial fibrillation","volume":"53","author":"Kamalvand K","year":"1999","journal-title":"Int J Clin Pract"},{"key":"e_1_2_15_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000019832"},{"key":"e_1_2_15_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00001573-199701000-00004"},{"key":"e_1_2_15_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00063198-199811000-00007"},{"key":"e_1_2_15_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0022215100110941"},{"key":"e_1_2_15_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1378\/chest.111.5.1348"},{"key":"e_1_2_15_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1067\/mhn.2000.102120"},{"key":"e_1_2_15_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005537-200007000-00005"},{"key":"e_1_2_15_10_1","unstructured":"SomnoplastyTMMedical Technologies Inc. advertisement PN 150\u20101552 August 1997."}],"container-title":["Otolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1067\/mhn.2001.119863","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1067\/mhn.2001.119863","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/aao-hnsfjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1067\/mhn.2001.119863","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,20]],"date-time":"2025-10-20T12:15:49Z","timestamp":1760962549000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/aao-hnsfjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1067\/mhn.2001.119863"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2001,11]]},"references-count":9,"journal-issue":{"issue":"5","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2001,11]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1067\/mhn.2001.119863"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1067\/mhn.2001.119863","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0194-5998","1097-6817"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0194-5998","type":"print"},{"value":"1097-6817","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2001,11]]},"assertion":[{"value":"2016-09-01","order":3,"name":"published","label":"Published","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}]}}
