Rat liver regeneration following ablation with irreversible electroporation.
During the past decade, irreversible electroporation (IRE) ablation has emerged as a promising tool for the treatment of multiple diseases including hepatic cancer. However, the mechanisms behind the tissue regeneration following IRE ablation have not been investigated. Our results indicate that IRE treatment immediately kills the cells at the treatment site preserving the extracellular archite...
متن کاملTumor Ablation with Irreversible Electroporation
We report the first successful use of irreversible electroporation for the minimally invasive treatment of aggressive cutaneous tumors implanted in mice. Irreversible electroporation is a newly developed non-thermal tissue ablation technique in which certain short duration electrical fields are used to permanently permeabilize the cell membrane, presumably through the formation of nanoscale def...
متن کاملTissue heating during tumor ablation with irreversible electroporation
Exposing biological cells to sufficiently strong external electric fields causes electroporation of cell membranes, i.e. occurrence of transient or permanent permeable pathways between the interior and exterior of the cell. Electroporation can be used to introduce various molecules into cells (reversible electroporation) or to kill cells (irreversible electroporation), which can in turn be used...
متن کاملAblation of perivascular hepatic malignant tumors with irreversible electroporation.
BACKGROUND Ablation is increasingly used to treat primary and secondary liver cancer. Ablation near portal pedicles and hepatic veins is challenging. Irreversible electroporation (IRE) is a new ablation technique that does not rely on heat and, in animals, appears to be safe and effective when applied near hepatic veins and portal pedicles. This study evaluated the safety and short-term outcome...
متن کاملImmunologic Response to Tumor Ablation with Irreversible Electroporation
BACKGROUND Irreversible electroporation (IRE) is a promising technique for the focal treatment of pathologic tissues, which involves placing minimally invasive electrodes within the targeted region. However, the knowledge about the therapeutic efficacy and immune reactions in response to IRE remains in its infancy. METHODS In this work, to detect whether tumor ablation with IRE could trigger ...
