Naming microwave ablation as the “workhorse” of all ablation procedures performed by he and his team, Govindarajan Narayanan (Miami, USA) details his current practice and his early impressions using the IntelliBlate (Varian) solution.
For interventionists who have been performing microwave ablation since its inception, they will know that reliability has long been an issue, Narayanan states, as “in the past, we would not be able to predict where the ablation zone might be”. However, he believes that this problem “has mostly been one of the past” with newer devices, such as IntelliBlate. “With this particular device, we have been able to get the ablation zone we have planned,” he elaborates.
Describing he and his team’s new approach using the IntelliBlate solution, Narayanan describes their first impressions, detailing how the system has changed their microwave ablation practice.
