Comparison of Ablation Zones among Different Tissues Using 2450-MHz Cooled-Shaft Microwave Antenna: Results in Ex Vivo Porcine Models

Abstract

The extent of microwave ablation zones was not significantly different among completely different tissues. Microwave ablations with ≥ 5 minutes time duration can induce coagulation zones with clinical desirable shape. Future clinical studies are still required to determine the role of microwave ablation in different tissues.
