Popis: Background Percutaneous magnetic resonance-guided (MR-guided) MWA procedures have traditionally been performed under local anesthesia (LA) and sedation. However, pain control is often difficult to manage, especially in some cases when the tumor is large or in a specific location, such as near the abdominal wall or close to the hepatic dome. This study retrospectively compared the results of general anesthesia (GA) and local anesthesia (LA) for MR-guided microwave ablation (MWA) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC ≤ 5.0 cm) to investigate whether different anesthesia methods lead to different clinical outcomes. Methods The results of the analysis include procedure-related complications, imaging response, and the time to complete two sets of procedures. According to the type of anesthesia, the Kaplan-Meier method was used to compare the local tumor progression (LTP) of the two groups who underwent MR-guided MWA. Results All patients achieved technical success. The mean ablation duration of each patient in the GA group and LA group was remarkably different (P = 0.012). Both groups had no difference in complications or LTP (both P > 0.05). Notably, the tumor location (challenging locations) and the number of lesions (2–3 lesions) could be the main factors affecting LTP (p = 0.000, p = 0.015). Univariate Cox proportional hazard regression indicated that using different anesthesia methods (GA and LA) was not associated with longer LTP (P = 0.237), while tumor location (challenging locations) and the number of lesions (2–3 lesions) were both related to shorter LTP (P = 0.000, P = 0.020, respectively). Additionally, multivariate Cox regression further revealed that the tumor location (regular locations) and the number of lesions (single) could independently predict better LTP (P = 0.000, P = 0.005, respectively). Conclusions No correlation was observed between GA and LA for LTP after MR-guided MWA. However, tumors in challenging locations and the number of lesions (2–3 lesions) appear to be the main factors affecting LTP.
