Key Points

  • This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of stereotactic two-needle irreversible electroporation for treating liver tumors near critical structures.
  • Systematic clinical evaluation of two-needle irreversible electroporation (IRE) technique.
  • Use of a high-dose protocol to simplify IRE delivery.
  • Assessment of outcomes in small liver tumors located near critical anatomical structures.
  • Demonstrated high efficacy in treating small liver tumors.
  • Absence of complications associated with the procedure.
  • Broadened clinical applicability for challenging anatomical locations.

Abstract

First systematic clinical evaluation of stereotactic two-needle irreversible electroporation (IRE) for liver tumors. Two-needle configuration with high-dose protocol simplifies IRE compared with standard multielectrode approaches. This proof-of-concept study demonstrates high efficacy and absence of complications in small liver tumors near critical structures. Two-needle IRE may broaden clinical applicability in anatomically challenging locations.
