Abstrakt: Purpose: To determine the risk of mechanical vessel wall damage resulting in hemorrhage during and after hepatic and renal histotripsy in an anticoagulated in vivo porcine model.
Materials and Methods: Non-tumor-bearing pigs (n = 8; mean weight, 52.5 kg) were anticoagulated with warfarin (initial dose, 0.08 mg/kg) to a target prothrombin time (PT) of 30%-50% above baseline. A total of 15 histotripsy procedures were performed (kidney: n = 8, 2.0-cm sphere; liver: n = 7, 2.5-cm sphere). Treatments were immediately followed by computed tomography (CT) imaging. Animals were observed for 7 days while continuing anticoagulation, followed by repeat CT and necropsy.
Results: All animals survived to complete the entire protocol with no signs of disability or distress. Three animals had hematuria (pink urine without clots). Baseline PT values (mean, 16.0 seconds) were elevated to 22.0 seconds (37.5% above baseline, P = .003) on the day of treatment and to 28.8 seconds (77.8% above baseline, P < .001) on the day of necropsy. At the time of treatment, 5 of 8 (63%) animals were at a therapeutic anticoagulation level, and all 8 animals (100%) reached therapeutic levels by the time of necropsy. There were no cases of intraparenchymal, peritoneal, or retroperitoneal hemorrhage associated with any treatments despite 5 of 7 (71%) liver and all 8 (100%) kidney treatments extending to the organ surface.
Conclusions: Liver and kidney histotripsy seems safe with no elevated bleeding risk in this anticoagulated animal model, supporting the possibility of histotripsy treatments in patients on anticoagulation.
