Results of the ex vivo experiments for the three considered groups (n = 4, mean ± standard deviation)
| Group | Coagulation diameters | troll-off (s) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Transverse (cm) | Axial (cm) | ||
| ND | 2.4 ± 0.2 | 3.4 ± 0.5 | 281 ± 31 |
| NaCl | 3.0 ± 0.4 | 3.7 ± 0.4 | 379 ± 12 |
| AuNPs | 3.7 ± 0.3 | 4.1 ± 0.2 | 432 ± 36 |
troll-off: time until roll-off (at which point the ablation ceased). ND Group: non-doped tissue; NaCl Group: infusion of 2 mL of 0.9% NaCl; AuNPs Group: infusion of 2 mL of 0.1 wt%. AuNPs
