Abstrakt: Background: Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) represents a treatment option for non-resectable liver malignancies. Larger ablations can be achieved with a temporary hepatic inflow occlusion (Pringle maneuver - PM). However, a PM can induce dehydration and carbonization of the target tissue. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of an intermittent PM on the ablation size.
Methods: Twenty-five multipolar RFAs were performed in porcine livers ex vivo . A perfused glass tube was used to simulate a natural vessel. The following five test series (each n=5) were conducted: (1) continuous PM, (2-4) intermittent PM, and (5) no PM. Ablations were cut into half. Ablation area, minimal radius, and maximal radius were compared.
Results: No change in complete ablation size could be measured between the test series (p>0.05). A small rim of native liver tissue was observed around the glass tube in the test series without PM. A significant increase of ablation area could be measured on the margin of the ablations with an intermittent PM, starting without hepatic inflow occlusion (p<0.05).
Conclusion: An intermittent PM did not lead to smaller ablations compared to a continuous or no PM ex vivo . Furthermore, an intermittent PM can increase the ablation area when initial hepatic inflow is succeeded by a PM.
