Microwave Ablation: The Differences Between Biliary Cirrhosis and Normal Porcine Liver Using a Cooled-tip Electrode.

Aim: To elucidate the difference in both in vivo and ex vivo microwave ablation in a biliary cirrhotic porcine liver model using a cooled-tip electrode.

Materials And Methods: Microwave ablation with cooled-tip electrode was conducted under laparotomy. Morphological and pathological characteristics of the ablated areas were compared.

T-Stenting-and-Small-Protrusion Technique for Bifurcation Stenoses After End-to-Side Anastomosis of Transplant Renal Artery and External Iliac Artery: Report of Two Cases.

Bifurcation stenoses after end-to-side anastomosis of transplant renal artery (TRA) and external iliac artery (EIA), including stenoses at the anastomosis and the iliac artery proximal to the TRA, are rare. In the present article, we report two successfully managed cases of bifurcation stenoses after end-to-side anastomosis of the TRA and EIA using the technique of T-stenting and small protrusion (TAP stenting).
