The Influence of a Metal Stent on the Distribution of Thermal Energy during Irreversible Electroporation.

PURPOSE:Irreversible electroporation (IRE) uses short duration, high-voltage electrical pulses to induce cell death via nanoscale defects resulting from altered transmembrane potential. The technique is gaining interest for ablations in unresectable pancreatic and hepatobiliary cancer. Metal stents...
