Why multiprobe RF?
![Page 5: Multiprobe RF ablation: A Feasibility Study Fred T. Lee Jr., MD Dieter Haemmerich, MS Andrew S. Wright, MD David M. Mahvi, MD John G. Webster, PhD University](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062805/5697bfbc1a28abf838ca16f9/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Why multiprobe RF?
• Simultaneous ablations
– Increase lesion number
– Multiple probes in large tumor
• Decrease ablation time
• Improve temperature distribution in lesion (make ablation more effective)
• Control lesion (bigger not always better)

Current RF systems
• Multiple prongs run at same voltage
RITA
RTC
Radionics

Faraday Effect

Faraday Effect
Electrodes at same voltage
![Page 9: Multiprobe RF ablation: A Feasibility Study Fred T. Lee Jr., MD Dieter Haemmerich, MS Andrew S. Wright, MD David M. Mahvi, MD John G. Webster, PhD University](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062805/5697bfbc1a28abf838ca16f9/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Faraday Effect
Probes at different voltage=bipolar Current flows between probes

Faraday Effect
Electrically independent probes
![Page 11: Multiprobe RF ablation: A Feasibility Study Fred T. Lee Jr., MD Dieter Haemmerich, MS Andrew S. Wright, MD David M. Mahvi, MD John G. Webster, PhD University](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062805/5697bfbc1a28abf838ca16f9/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
How independent probes created
• Rapid switching between probes
• Temperature in tissue changes much slower than switching
• Temperature/impedance feedback algorithm

In vivo results
• Domestic pigs (n=3, mean wt=35 kg)• 13 RF lesions
– 3 single control lesions– 10 dual (5 pairs created simultaneously)
RITA Model 150 generator (150 W), Starburst electrode deployed to 3.0 cm. 10 minute ablation, 100° C.

Single Simultaneous dual RF
Note: same scale

In vivo results
• Time to temperature (100°C)
single: 2.7 minutes (162 seconds)
dual: 3.4 minutes (204 seconds)
![Page 19: Multiprobe RF ablation: A Feasibility Study Fred T. Lee Jr., MD Dieter Haemmerich, MS Andrew S. Wright, MD David M. Mahvi, MD John G. Webster, PhD University](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062805/5697bfbc1a28abf838ca16f9/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
In vivo results:volume of necrosis
• Single: 10.7 cc
• Dual (each individual lesion): 17.3cc
Therefore, 34.6 cc ablation obtained in approximately same time as 10.7 cc ablation

• Single: 3.3 cm
• Dual (each individual lesion): 3.8 cm

Conclusions
• Feasible to create multiple simultaneous burns with a single generator
• No lesion size penalty
• Slight increase in time to temperature

What’s next?
• Increase # of probes (?4)
• Will require increased generator power
• Many technical factors involved with rapid switching (mechanical electrical)
• Cluster probes in close proximity to increase lesion size, temperature
