The first international experience with histotripsy: a safety analysis of 230 cases

Abstract

To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to report on the real-world therapeutic use of histotripsy for liver tumors. Histotripsy was well tolerated, with few overall complications and rare serious complications, indicating a safety profile that compares favorably with that of other liver-directed and surgical therapies for the treatment of liver tumors. Long-term follow-up data, including oncologic outcomes, were collected.
