SIRE – Stereotactic percutaneous Irreversible Electroporation of a malignant liver lesion using a computer-assisted navigation system
Name: PD Dr. Lukas Beyer
Institution: University Hospital Regensburg, Centre for Radiological Interventional Oncology, Regensburg, Germany
Patient age and sex: 54 years, male
Initial condition:
Treatment:
Stereotactic IRE with CAS-One IR
Time for treatment
The aiming device allows accurate positioning of multiple electrodes in one go
Conclusion:
The clinical study comparing SIRE to CIRE (conventional IRE) shows a marked reduction of procedure length and high accuracy compared to CIRE (Conventional IRE).
Stereotactic navigation has the potential to reduce radiation dose for the patient without increasing the risk of complications or impaired technical success compared to CIRE.
Due to the high accuracy and focal nonthermal ablation mechanism, SIRE might have the potential to be translated into the treatment of deep-seated tumors in other anatomical regions, e.g., pancreatic cancer.
