Table 3. Time required for sterile patient preparation; placement of IRE electrodes and total intervention.

Data are presented as means and standard deviations.

Conventional or stereotactic	CIRE (n = 10)	SIRE (n = 10)	t-test
Sterile patient preparation duration—min	17.1 ± 2.8	16.1 ± 3.8	t(16.4) = 0.67, p = 0.514
Electrode placement duration—min	87.0 ± 29.9	26.8 ± 7.7	t(10.2) = 6.2, p < 0.001
Placement time per electrode—min	18.0 ± 4.2	5.9 ± 2.0	t(13.0) = 8.1, p < 0.001
Procedure time until start of the ablation—min	104.1 ± 28.2	55.2 ± 9.3	t(10.9) = 5.2, p < 0.001
