Microwave Ablation of Atrial Flutter

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, 1999
Radiofrequency (RF) ablation of the isthmus between the inferior vena cava and the tricuspid ring has proven to be a safe and successful method of treating atrial flutter (AF). However, RF ablation lesions are small in size requiring a considerable number of energy applications to ablate the AF circuit.

Microwave ablation for liver tumors

Abdominal Radiology, 2016
Surveillance programs and widespread use of medical imaging have increased the detection of hepatic tumors. When feasible, surgical resection is widely accepted as the curative treatment of choice, but surgical morbidity and mortality has spurred the development of minimally invasive ablative technologies over the last 2 decades. Microwave ablation has

Microwave ablation of pancreatic tumors

Minimally Invasive Therapy & Allied Technologies, 2017
To evaluate the clinical performance of percutaneous microwave ablation (MWA) for treatment of locally-advanced-pancreatic-cancer (LAPC).Twenty-two MWA sessions (August 2015-March 2017) in 20 patients with primary pancreatic cancer (13 men, 7 women, mean-age: 59.9 ± 8.6 years, range: 46-73 years), who had given informed consent, were retrospectively ...

Microwave Ablation: Principles and Applications

RadioGraphics, 2005
Microwave ablation is the most recent development in the field of tumor ablation. The technique allows for flexible approaches to treatment, including percutaneous, laparoscopic, and open surgical access. With imaging guidance, the tumor is localized, and a thin (14.5-gauge) microwave antenna is placed directly into the tumor.

Adjustable zone microwave ablation

2015 USNC-URSI Radio Science Meeting (Joint with AP-S Symposium), 2015
According to The National Cancer Institute, over 1.6 million people will be diagnosed with cancer in the United States in 2015. Of those diagnosed, more than 50% of patients experience liver metastasis. Only 30% of patients with liver metastasis tumors will have disease amenable to surgical resection due to high surgical risk or unfavorable anatomy ...

Microwave ablation for tachycardia

Images of the Twenty-First Century. Proceedings of the Annual International Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2003
Application of microwave energy delivered through a probe and a catheter in open- and closed-chest dogs to induce atrio-ventricular block is described. Several microwave antennas/catheters with a preferential power deposition at the tip were designed, constructed and tested. These antennas were designed for operation at 2450 MHz. Measurements in saline
