Objective To investigate the risk factors affecting the technical failure of artificial ascites (AA)
formation and to evaluate the local control efficacy of percutaneous thermal ablation …

Purpose: Hydro-dissection, also known as artificial ascites (AA) can be a helpful technique
during thermal ablation. By introducing 5% glucose or normal saline into the intraperitoneal …

Background To evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of artificial ascites to assist thermal
ablation of liver cancer adjacent to the gastrointestinal tract in patients with previous …

Thermal ablative techniques such as radiofrequency and microwave ablation are minimally
invasive and cost-effective approaches that are currently being adopted as alternatives to …

Image-guided percutaneous thermal ablation is increasingly utilized in the treatment of
hepatic malignancies. Peripherally located hepatic tumors can be difficult to access or …

Aim To evaluate the technical feasibility of artificial ascites formation using an angiosheath
before percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for hepatic tumours and to determine …

Background The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility, safety and efficacy of
computed tomography (CT)-guided percutaneous microwave ablation with artificial ascites …

Background To assess the frequency of major complications after thermal ablation of liver
tumours and to determine risk factors for adverse events. Methods A retrospective study was …

Purpose: This study assessed the efficacy and safety of artificial ascites in assisting
ultrasound-guided percutaneous microwave (MW) ablation of hepatic tumours adjacent to …

e15582 Background: The presence of ascites has been considered a relative
contraindication for performing percutaneous thermal ablation of hepatic tumors due to …
