A synthetic tryptophan metabolite reduces hemorrhagic area and inflammation after pulmonary radiofrequency ablation in rabbit nonneoplastic lungs

Purpose The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of a synthetic tryptophan metabolite, tranilast [N-(3,4-dimethoxycinnamoyl)-anthranilic acid], on inflammatory and hemorrhagic areas after pulmonary radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in rabbits.
