THORACIC BIOPSIES AND ABLATIONS
How to avoid errors
14. RFA with the exandable probe
Before RFA
After 20 min of RFA
After 40 min of RFA
Good covering of the tumor (ground glass)
Stability of the hematoma
15. • Ablation is finished
• Hematoma is stable
• The risk of active bleeding can still occur…
• …care should be taken when withdrawing the needle
At this point:
16. Withdrawal of the coaxial system in the intercostal space
Arterial back-flow through the coaxial needle
The hematoma is growing
end of RFA
1st control with the coaxial system
in the intercostal space
17. • deployment of the RFA probe and ablation in the
intercostal space => vessel coagulation
• then insertion of two coils through the coxial
• then injection of hemostatic matrix through the coaxial
At this point:
19. • Stability of hemothorax
• No active bleeding
• No direct contact between the coils and the intercostal artery: small collateral?
post-procedural angio CT
20.
21. lessons learned:
• puncturing juste above the rib is not 100% protective of
incidental vessel puncture
• never withdraw the coaxial needle if it bleeds!
22. - 65 y.o non surgical patient
- growing lesion in the left lung
- Microwave ablation + biopsy is performed
CASE3
microwave antenna
biopsy
alveolar bleeding
23. • ablation was not performed = ERROR!
• patient was turned supine and hopefully bleeding
stopped
• patient was extubated the day after the procedure
At this point:
32. • palsy was asymptomatic (but can be devastating in a
patient with repsiratory failure)
• recovery might occur in the following months
At this point:
51. • ablation was too large
• 2 risk factors for a poor postablation cicatrisation were
identified: antiangiogenic therapy was not discontinued
and diabetes was discovered
• fistula closed after 2 months of antibiotics
key points:
52. lessons learned:
• do not rush on new systems!
• be careful on other debilitating factors
• surgery is not the 1st option to manage these
complications
