Definitions

  • the method can further apply the first thermal accelerant to a surface of a tissue at a target site to cauterize the target site.
  • positioning the first thermal accelerant can further include positioning the accelerant at an outer-boundary of the target site.
  • the method can further introduce a second applicator or a second thermal accelerant to the target site, the second applicator and the second thermal accelerant being positioned in a substantially rhombal shape with the first applicator and the first thermal accelerant.
  • the first applicator or the second applicator can include an electrode having one or more energy emitting devices thereon.
  • the method can further include passing one or more of the first applicator and the first thermal accelerant through the target site under image guidance.
  • FIG. IB shows a metastatic tumor in the liver of a patient and abutting the hepatic vein
  • FIG. 2B shows effective rates of temperature rise for untreated tissue and for different heat substrate formulations
  • FIG. 3B shows extension of ablation with the placement of FIG. 3 A;
  • FIG. 4 shows a liver section and placement of thermal accelerant between a tumor and a blood vessel;
  • FIG. 5 shows placement of two antennas and two sites of thermal accelerant for creating an enlarged ablation zone
  • the thermal accelerant can also be positioned to prevent the heat loss (also known as "heat sink” see FIG. 1C— that would otherwise occur due to the presence of a large blood vessel in or adjacent to the intended ablation zone, trapping an effective level of heating in the near field without ablating the blood vessel itself.
  • Modeling was performed for the use of multiple antennae, and for more than one localized body of thermal accelerant strategically placed to define a larger, or more uniform and expanded ablation zone, or to define an ablation zone while limiting the time that power is applied to other portions of the organ.
  • the thermal accelerant plays a cooperative and synergistic role in augmenting the effective microwave energy. The suitability for each of these interventions, however, will require that the actual level of increased heating be sufficient to overcome any countervailing conduction and absorption effects exerted by surrounding tissue.
  • FIG. 3 A and FIG. 3B This situation is illustrated schematically in FIG. 3 A and FIG. 3B wherein a small mass of the substrate located at the upper right distal region or surface of an irregular tumor (FIG. 3 A) and outside of a theoretical circular or symmetric effective ablation zone centered on the microwave antenna, produces a well-defined ablation region (thick band, as seen in FIG. 3B), extending the region of complete ablation to or beyond the tumor boundary.
  • the study was further designed to test the notion that the thermal accelerant can help avoid the heat loss (also known as "heat sink") caused by a blood vessel adjacent to the ablation zone, without ablating the blood vessel itself
  • FIG. 4 This situation is illustrated in FIG. 4, which identifies where to place the thermal accelerant to enhance tumor ablation while avoiding damage to the vessel.
  • FIG. 4 This situation is illustrated in FIG. 4, which identifies where to place the thermal accelerant to enhance tumor ablation while avoiding damage to the vessel.
  • FIGS. 3 A and 3B schematically diagram the microwave ablation, wherein a thermal accelerant is injected to an imaginary tumor target area.
  • a typical ablation zone is about 2.5 cm in diameter when a single antenna is used with the microwave ablation conditions: 915 MHz, 60 W for 10 minutes.
  • the thermal accelerant due to its viscous composition, remains relatively stationary at a target site once deposited since it turns to a gel at body temperature.
  • the track of the thermal accelerant gel is shown just outside of the nominal ablation zone, and runs through the outer-boundary of the imaginary tumor in the liver.
  • FIG. 3B shows the coagulative ablation zone extended by augmentation of the microwave energy.
  • CsCl cesium chloride
  • the polymer component possesses the unique property of being a liquid at ambient temperature, but a gel at typical body temperature (35-37° C.). Moreover, upon a further increase in temperature, the polymer precipitates by expelling water molecules from the polymeric lattice structure.
  • the Aim 1 is intended to examine heat augmentation efficiency of the thermal accelerant (TA) in percutaneous microwave ablation using a single antenna, while Aim 2 is intended to assess efficacy for overcoming heat sink effects, and Aim 3 investigate the TA being used for situations that may have been addressed previously by using an extra antenna.
  • TA thermal accelerant
  • the components of the TA may include three, non-toxic components: 1) a polymer (natural or artificial) as a carrier; 2) an ionic component for overall charge and viscosity balance; 3) an imaging component.
  • the coagulation temperature is pH-dependent, i.e., low pH shifts the coagulation (denaturation) temperature of albumin from 62 °C (at pH 7.4) to 46 °C (at pH 3.5).
  • Such ability to control the TA can allow for protection from collateral injury of important tissues or organs during ablation. While it will be appreciated that the temperature at which the TA switches off can be varied, though some non-limiting examples of such temperatures can be >60° C, >80° C, >100° C, and so forth in optimized formulations, in some embodiments, temperatures of up to 170° C can be observed under in vitro conditions during microwave ablations under the following conditions: 915 MHz, 60W for 10 minutes at 1.5 cm from the antenna.
  • TTC-treated kidney tissue images show a typical ablation zone using a single antenna with 60 W, 915 MHz, for 10 minutes, and the ablation is slightly off-centered as the connective tissues in the central renal sinus area are less affected.
  • the resultant ablation zone is about 1 cm in diameter.
  • TA was able to produce a drastic increase of the ablation zone (3 cm in diameter) where the central tissues were also shown to be completely ablated (60 W, 915 MHz, 10 minutes; the distance between antenna and TA was 1.3 cm).
  • the relative distances between the TA 140, the electrode 110, and the target site 130 can vary based on the desired ablation zone, patient anatomy, the size of the target site, and so forth, as discussed in detail above.
  • a second electrode or a second thermal accelerant can be added to the target site, as discussed above, to maximize the ablation zone.
