Performance of a New Blunt-Tip Needle for the Displacement of Critical Structure in Thermal Ablation

Performance of a New Blunt-Tip Needle for the Displacement of Critical Structure in Thermal Ablation

Purpose To ascertain the performance of a new blunt-tip needle (HydroGuard ® ), which allows injection of fluids during needle advancement in order to safely approach, displace and insulate nearby critical structures during thermal ablation (TA). Materials and Methods This study included 27 consecut...

Zusammenfassung:Purpose To ascertain the performance of a new blunt-tip needle (HydroGuard ® ), which allows injection of fluids during needle advancement in order to safely approach, displace and insulate nearby critical structures during thermal ablation (TA). Materials and Methods This study included 27 consecutive patients treated by TA [cryoablation (CA), radiofrequency (RFA), and microwave MWA)] between April 2018 and January 2019. During TA, hydro- or gas dissection was performed with HydroGuard ® needle to displace and protect critical structures close to the tumor (
