Non-invasive fetal therapy using histotripsy: Feasibility study in the sheep model

Pulsed cavitational ultrasound, or histotripsy, has been shown to be an effective technique to mechanically fractionate tissue through controlled cavitation. In this study, we investigate the feasibility of using histotripsy as a therapeutic tool to non-invasively fractionate and remove fetal tissue...

description Pulsed cavitational ultrasound, or histotripsy, has been shown to be an effective technique to mechanically fractionate tissue through controlled cavitation. In this study, we investigate the feasibility of using histotripsy as a therapeutic tool to non-invasively fractionate and remove fetal tissue. Pregnant ewes at 102-129 days into gestation were exposed to histotripsy by a focused 1 MHz transducer coupled to the maternal abdominal wall. The fetal heart, kidney and liver were exposed to short ultrasound pulses (
