Abstract

A standardized perfused ex vivo bovine liver model was used to evaluate the effect of organ perfusion on coagulation size and energy deposition during radiofrequency ablation (RFA) procedures. Bovine livers were perfused in a tank after rinsing the prepared liver vessels with anticoagulants. Tyrode's solution, oxygenated and heated to 36.5 degrees C, was used as perfusion medium. A flow and pressure controlled pump regulated Portal vein circulation; a dialysis machine provided pulsatile arterial circulation. Impedance-guided radiofrequency ablations were performed with 4-cm LeVeen electrodes with and without underlying liver perfusion. Two-dimensional diameters (Dv, Dh) of each ablation area were measured after dissecting the livers. In 4 bovine livers weighing 8.85 +/- 0.83 kg per organ (min, 7.7 kg; max, 9.7 kg) altogether 40 RF ablations were performed. A total of 20 ablations were generated with underlying liver perfusion (group 1) and 20 ablations with no liver perfusion (group 2). In group 1, Dv was 28.4 +/- 5.3 mm, Dh 38.6 +/- 7.8 mm, and energy deposition 36.9 +/- 18.0 kJ. The 20 ablation areas generated without liver perfusion displayed statistically significant differences, with Dv being 35.7 +/- 6.5 mm (P = 0.001), D...Continue Reading

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
