In this series, RFA provided a treatment during SEEG-guided intracranial monitoring that led to seizure freedom in ~25% of patients. Of the 70% that underwent delayed surgery, longer transient time of seizure freedom after RFA was predictive of the results of the secondary surgeries, 74% were LITT.
