BackgroundMicrowave thermoablation (MTA) is a treatment method used to destroy hepatic tumors.ObjectiveTo investigate temperature changes during MTA of ex-vivo porcine liver using dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) imaging.MethodsThree MTA experiments were performed using ex-vivo porcine liver (15 × 15 × 15 cm3) and DECT imaging with 80/Sn140 kVp spectral and 0.5-weighted reconstructions. Images were acquired from basic organ temperature to 100 °C with 10 °C difference during microwave heating and cooling phases. Three fluoro-optic thermometers were used for temperature measurements; two were placed at 1 cm and third one positioned at 2 cm distance from the applicator. Tissue temperature, ablation-region-conspicuity (ARC), ablation-region dimensions and image quality were determined. Regression analysis was performed determining thermal sensitivity during heating and cooling phases.ResultsDetermined thermal sensitivities during heating phase were: −0.59 Hounsfield Unit/°C (80 kVp), −0.60HU/°C (0.5-weighted) and −0.59HU/°C (140 kVp); furthermore, during cooling: −0.56HU/°C (80 kVp), −0.55HU/°C (0.5-weighted) and −0.55HU/°C (140 kVp). ARC showed significantly higher (all P < 0.05) values for thermometer positions −1 and −2 compared to −3; however, comparison between positions −1 and −2 was insignificant (P > 0.05). Signal-to-noise ratios were higher for 0.5-weighted but ARC values were higher for 80 kVp images.ConclusionMicrowave thermal sensitivity on tissue was inversely linear with DECT image datasets. Heating phase showed higher influence of temperature on HU compared to cooling; ARC and ablation-region were increased with increase in temperature. 相似文献

ObjectiveTo examine the learning curves of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation comparing the cryoballoon (CB) and radiofrequency (RF) catheters.MethodsWe performed a retrospective data analysis from the initiation of AF ablation program in our center. For CB ablation, a second generation 28 mm balloon was utilized and for RF ablation.ResultsA total of 100 consecutive patients (50 in each group) have been enrolled in the study (male 74%, mean age 58.9 ± 10 years, paroxysmal AF 85%). The mean procedure time was shorter for CB (116.6 ± 39.8 min) than RF group (191.8 ± 101.1 min) (p < 0.001). There was no difference in the mean fluoroscopy time, 24.2 ± 10.6 min in RF and 22.4 ± 11.7 min in CB group, (p = 0.422). Seven major complications occurred during the study; 5 in RF group (10%) and 2 in CB group (4%) (p = 0.436). After the mean follow up of 14.5 ± 2.4 months, 15 patients in RF group (30%) and 11 in CB group (26%) experienced AF recurrences (P = 0.300).ConclusionWhen starting a new AF ablation program, our results suggest that CB significantly shortens procedure while fluoroscopy time and clinical outcomes are comparable to RF ablation. 相似文献

Focal point-by-point radiofrequency catheter ablation has shown considerable success in the treatment of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. However, it is not without limitations. Recent clinical and preclinical studies have demonstrated that cryothermal ablation using a balloon catheter (Artic Front©, Medtronic CryoCath LP) provides an effective alternative strategy to treating atrial fibrillation. The objective of this article is to review efficacy and safety data surrounding cryoballoon ablation for paroxysmal and persistent atrial fibrillation. In addition, a practical step-by-step approach to cryoballoon ablation is presented, while highlighting relevant literature regarding: 1) the rationale for adjunctive imaging, 2) selection of an appropriate cryoballoon size, 3) predictors of efficacy, 4) advanced trouble-shooting techniques, and 5) strategies to reduce procedural complications, such as phrenic nerve palsy. 相似文献

BackgroundHIFU can achieve PVI, but severe esophageal complications have happened. We analyzed relative position of HIFU balloon catheter (BC) to esophageal temperature (ET) probe and correlated it to ET changes.Methods and ResultsBefore each ablation relative position of HIFU BC to ET probe was recorded in RAO 30° and LAO 40°. We compared ablations where ET at end of ablation was < 38.5°C or ≥ 38.5°C and < 40.0°C or ≥ 40.0°C.A total of 600 images from 311 ablations in 28 patients (18 male, age 63 ± 7 years), were analyzed. ET ≥ 38.5°C was reached when distance from BC to ET probe was: < 20 mm in LAO for RSPV and < 29 mm in LAO for RIPV. For RIPV ET ≥ 38.5°C was reached when angle between BC and ET probe was significantly smaller in LAO and RAO. ET ≥ 40.0°C was reached when distance of BC to ET probe was: < 20 mm in LAO for RIPV, < 14 mm in RAO for RIPV, < 18 mm in RAO for LIPV. ET increased to ≥ 40.0°C when distance from BC to ET probe was significantly longer in LAO for LIPV. For RIPV ET ≥ 40.0°C was reached when angle between BC and ET probe was significantly smaller in LAO.ConclusionsThere is a relationship between distance/angle of HIFU BC to ET probe and ET: shorter distances and smaller angles can cause higher ET. 相似文献

Summary Ablation, transplantation and culture experiments were used to determine the respective roles of the pancreatic dorsal and ventral anlagen in the formation of the endocrine cells. Three successive waves of endocrine formation occur in the pancreas of Bufo bufo at three developmental stages (III6, IV1 and IV2). Each wave is derived from a different source: the first originates from the dorsal anlage, the second from the exocrine tissue of the cortex of the pancreas and the third from the pancreatic duct. Each generation of islets has a specific composition of different cell types. The first wave is only composed of insulin islets; the second wave gives rise to single insulin, glucagon and somatostatin cells; while the third wave generates single cells synthesizing one of the three hormones, homogeneous islets of insulin cells, rare glucagon islets and heterogeneous islets containing insulin cells in the centre and a few glucagon or somatostatin cells at the periphery. 相似文献

目的:探讨不同电场强度的不可逆电穿孔(IRE)对于肿瘤的消融效果以及其所引起的肿瘤免疫反应。方法:将B16黑色素瘤细胞接种于C57小鼠,制作黑色素瘤小鼠模型,应用不可逆电穿孔仪对肿瘤进行消融,通过测量肿瘤生长大小研究不同场强下的消融效果。通过CD4、CD8a免疫组化染色初步了解不同场强激发的免疫反应的强弱,从而选择最佳消融参数。结果:随着电场强度增加,肿瘤消融效果逐渐趋于理想,然而平板电极夹之间过高电场引发的热效应则不利于后续抗肿瘤免疫反应的激活。选择合适的电场,通过增加电击组数可以达到良好的治疗效果。结论:IRE对肿瘤的消融优势在于它能够很好的激活机体的抗肿瘤免疫反应,因此,选择合适的电场增加电击组数可以起到很好的抗肿瘤作用,具有很好的应用前景。 相似文献

A case of macro-reentrant tachycardia associated with a box lesion after thoracoscopis left atrial surgical atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation yet to be described. The goal was to clarify the mechanisms and electrophysiological characteristics of this type of tachycardia.A patient was admitted for an EP study following surgical thoracoscopic AF ablation (box lexion formation by right-sided Cobra thoracoscopic ablation). Thoracoscopic ablation was done as the first step of the hybrid ablation approach to the persistent AF; the second step was the EP study. At the EP study, he presented with incessant regular tachycardia (cycle length of 226 ms). An EP study with conventional, 3D activation and entrainment mapping was done to assess the tachycardia mechanism. Two conduction gaps in the superior line (roofline) between the superior pulmonary veins were discovered. The tachycardia was successfully treated with a radiofrequency application near the gap close to the left superior pulmonary vein; however, following tachycardia termination, pulmonary vein isolation was absent. A second radiofrequency application, close to the roof of the right superior pulmonary, vein closed the gap in the box and led to the isolation of all 4 pulmonary veins. No atrial tachycardia recurred during the 6-month follow-up.Conduction gaps in box lesion created by thoracospcopic ablation can present as a novel type of man-made tachycardia after surgical ablation of atrial fibrillation. Activation and entrainment mapping is necessary for an accurate diagnosis. 相似文献

Persistent left superior vena cava is a rarely seen anomaly but it may be an arrhythmogenic source for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Furthermore, the complex anatomicregion between the left superior vena cava and the pulmonary veins may leads to misinterpretation of the pulmonary vein recordings during atrial fibrillation ablation. Approaches that might be helpful to overcome these problems are discussed in this case report. 相似文献
