Irreversible electroporation ablations created with two monopolar probes and 90 pulses of 1500 V/cm in vivo in swine pancreas
Location | n | Exposurea | Distanceb | Survival | Ablation zonec |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Pancreas | 1 | 20 mm | 10 mm | 2 h | 15 × 16 mm |
Pancreas | 1 | 20 mm | 9 mm | 2 days | 21 × 12 mm |
Pancreas | 1 | 20 mm | 10 mm | 2 weeks | <10 × <10 mm |
Pancreas | 1 | 20 mm | 15 mm | 2 weeks | Not visualized |
Exposure refers to the length of the electrode that is active during the delivery of treatment
Distance between monopolar electrodes
The width and height of ablation zones were measured following triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining and fixation
