The use of adjuvant pre-ablation embolization for renal tumors has been reported in endophytic, centrally located lesions to reduce the risk of injuring the renal collecting system during subsequent cryoablation. In this technical report, we present another utilization of adjuvant pre-ablation embolization, applied for the purpose of decreasing the number of cryoablation probes needed in the ablation intervention. This novel procedural protocol not only decreases the cost of the procedure, but also preserves more normal renal parenchyma, and decreases the risk of injuries related to probe positioning.
辅助性消融前栓塞术用于肾肿瘤已见报道，对于内生性、位于中央的病灶，该方法可降低后续冷冻消融过程中损伤肾集合系统的风险。在本技术报告中，我们介绍了辅助性消融前栓塞术的另一种应用，即用于减少消融干预中所需冷冻消融探针的数量。这种新的操作方案不仅降低了手术成本，还保留了更多正常肾实质，并降低了与探针定位相关的损伤风险。
