Purpose: To evaluate ablation zone sizes in patients undergoing pulmonary tumor cryoablation with 14-gauge cryoablation probes.Materials and Methods: A single-center retrospective analysis of all consecutive patients who underwent cryoablation of pulmonary tumors with 1 or more 14-gauge probes (August 2017 to June 2020) was performed. Intraprocedural and 1-2-month postprocedural chest computed tomography (CT) scans were evaluated to characterize pulmonary lesions, ice balls, and ablation zones. Single-probe 14-gauge ablation zone volumes were compared with manufacturer reference isotherms and single- and 2-probe ablation zones from a prior investigation of 17-gauge probes. Overall survival and local recurrence-free survival were calculated to 3 years.Results: Forty-seven pulmonary malignancies in 42 patients (women, 50%; mean age, 75.2 years ± 11.5) underwent cryoablation with 1 (n = 35), 2 (n = 10), or 3 (n = 2) cryoablation probes. One- to 2-month follow-up CT images were available for 30 of the 42 patients. The mean cryoablation zone volumes at 1-2 months when 1 (n = 21), 2 (n = 8), and 3 (n = 1) probes were used were 5.0 cm3 ± 2.3, 37.5 cm3 ± 20.5, and 28.4 cm3, respectively. The mean single-probe follow-up ablation zone volume was larger than that previously reported for 17-gauge probes (3.0 cm3 ± 0.3) (P < .001) but smaller than manufacturer-reported isotherms (11.6 cm3 for -40 °C isotherm) and the 2-probe ablation zone volume with 17-gauge devices (12.9 cm3 ± 2.4) (for all, P < 001). The 3-year overall survival and local recurrence-free survival were 69% (95% confidence interval [CI], 53%-89%) and 87% (95% CI, 74%-100%), respectively.Conclusions: Fourteen-gauge probes generate larger ablation volumes than those generated by 17-gauge probes. Manufacturer-reported isotherms are significantly larger than actual cryoablation zones. Cryoablation can attain low rates of local recurrence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
