Article Synopsis
- * An 18-question survey was sent to 483 members of the Spanish Society of Vascular and Interventional Radiology, achieving a 26.5% response rate, revealing that many radiologists have limited clinical engagement despite recognizing its importance.
- * Key findings include that while 44.5% have admitting privileges and many participate in consultations and multidisciplinary committees, most radiologists spend only a small fraction of their workday on direct patient care, largely due to time constraints and lack of resources.
Objective: To analyze retrospectively the safety and effectiveness of percutaneous microwave ablation of solid renal tumors, and also review different approach techniques.
Methods: It is a retrospective study approved by the ethics committee of both hospitals. 14 tumors with a mean size of 37 mm (12-50 mm) were treated in a single session, under general anesthesia and with CT guidance, in 14 patients (9 men) with a mean age of 66 years, using the ablation system AMICA by different approaches (trans pulmonary, trans peritoneal and retroperitoneal).
