Phrenic nerve injury after the percutaneous microwave ablation of lung tumors: A single-center analysis.

Objective: This study aimed to analyze the cases of phrenic nerve injury caused by the percutaneous microwave ablation of lung tumors conducted at our center and to explore the risk factors.

Materials And Methods: The data of 455 patients who underwent the percutaneous microwave ablation of lung tumors at the Department of Interventional Radiology, First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University from July 2017 to October 2021, were retrospectively analyzed. The cases of phrenic nerve injury after the percutaneous ablation were reported to analyze the risk factors involved, such as the shortest distance between tumor margin and phrenic nerve, tumor size, and ablation energy.

Investigation of the efficacy and safety of cryoablation and intra-arterial PD-1 inhibitor in patients with advanced disease not responding to checkpoint inhibitors: An exploratory study.

Objective: To explore the effectiveness of cryoablation combined with arterial perfusion with programmed cell death protein 1 inhibitors in overcoming immune resistance in advanced solid cancers.

Methods: In this pilot retrospective study, nine patients with solid cancers were treated with tumour cryoablation and arterial perfusion with programmed cell death protein 1 inhibitors, which had previously proven ineffective. The CIBERSORT software was used to estimate the levels of tumour-infiltrating immune cells in the challenged tumour.

MR-Guided Microwave Ablation for Lung Malignant Tumor: A Single Center Prospective Study.

Objectives: To prospectively investigate the feasibility and efficacy of MRI-guided MWA for lung malignant tumor in our single center.

Materials And Methods: 22 patients [mean age, 56.86 ± 13.

Evaluation of the correlation between infrared thermal imaging-magnetic resonance imaging-pathology of microwave ablation of lesions in rabbit lung tumors.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between infrared thermal imaging-magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-pathology of microwave ablation (MWA) of lesions in rabbit lung tumors.

Materials And Methods: MR-guided MWA was performed in nine VX2 tumor-bearing rabbits. Infrared thermal imaging, postoperative MRI, and pathological presentation were obtained and analyzed.

Percutaneous radiofrequency ablation for small hepatocellular carcinoma in hepatic dome under MR-guidance: clinical safety and efficacy.

To evaluate the clinical safety and efficacy of percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) using multitined expandable electrodes under magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) guidance in the treatment of small hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) in the hepatic dome. The data of 49 patients with 50 HCC lesions in the hepatic dome who underwent MRI-guided RFA from April 2010 to January 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Planning, targeting, and controlling were performed under MR-guidance during the procedure.

Application of the transosseous approach for computed tomography-guided radioactive 125-iodine seed implantation for the treatment of thoracic and abdominal lymph node metastases.

Aim: This study aimed to investigate the technical procedure, safety, and clinical value of the transosseous approach for computed tomography (CT)-guided radioactive 125-iodine (I) seed implantation for the treatment of thoracic and abdominal lymph node metastases.

Subjects And Methods: This was a retrospective study that Nine lymph node metastases in nine patients were treated in our hospital between January 2010 and August 2018. Under CT guidance, at least one puncture path was made through the transosseous approach.
