Journal ArticleDOI
Microwave ablation of liver metastases to overcome the limitations of radiofrequency ablation
Anna Maria Ierardi,Chiara Floridi,Federico Fontana,Claudio Chini,Francesca Giorlando,Filippo Piacentino,Luca Brunese,Graziella Pinotti,Alessandro Bacuzzi,Gianpaolo Carrafiello +9 more
TL;DR: Percutaneous MWA of liver metastases >3 cm or located near vessels (>3 mm) can be considered a valid and safe option, probably preferable to RFA, and further studies are required to confirm these encouraging initial results.
Journal ArticleDOI
Current role of microwave ablation in the treatment of small hepatocellular carcinomas.
Natalie Lucchina,Dimitrios Tsetis,Anna Maria Ierardi,Francesca Giorlando,Edoardo Macchi,Elias Kehagias,Ejona Duka,Federico Fontana,Lorenzo Livraghi,Gianpaolo Carrafiello +9 more
TL;DR: Microwave ablation (MWA) has the advantages of possessing a higher thermal efficiency, high efficacy in coagulating blood vessels and is a relatively fast procedure, and it can be used to ablate tumors adjacent to major vessels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Factors predicting outcomes of microwave ablation of small hepatocellular carcinoma
Anna Maria Ierardi,Francesca Giorlando,Filippo Piacentino,Federico Fontana,Raffaele Novario,Salvatore Alessio Angileri,Ejona Duka,Gianpaolo Carrafiello +7 more
TL;DR: The results encourage the role of MWA in the treatment of small HCC and to select cases in which MWA may be more effective and safer than RFA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cone beam computed tomography and its image guidance technology during percutaneous nucleoplasty procedures at L5/S1 lumbar level.
Anna Maria Ierardi,Filippo Piacentino,Francesca Giorlando,Alberto Magenta Biasina,Alessandro Bacuzzi,Raffaele Novario,Gianpaolo Carrafiello +6 more
TL;DR: CBCT-guided percutaneous nucleoplasty is a highly effective technique for LDH with acceptable procedure time and radiation dose.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of tablet ultrasound for routine abdominal interventional procedures.
Anna Maria Ierardi,Federico Fontana,Francesca Giorlando,Giuseppe De Marchi,Antonio Pinto,Alessandro Radaelli,Stephanie Schampaert,Massimo Tonolini,Raffaele Novario,Gianpaolo Carrafiello +9 more
TL;DR: The novel tablet US was found to provide sufficient image quality for the majority of routine interventional procedures and Dedicated accessories and additional experience with this new generation US device may be needed to replace bulky high-end US systems.
