Investigate the relationship between pulsed field ablation parameters and ablation outcomes.
Background: Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is an emerging non-thermal ablation method. The primary challenge is the control of multiple parameters in PFA, as the interplay of these parameters remains unclear in terms of ensuring effective and safe tissue ablation.
Purpose: This study employs the response surface method (RSM) to explore the interactions between various PFA parameters and ablation outcomes, and seeks to enhance the efficacy and safety of PFA.
Methods: In vivo experiments were conducted using rabbit liver for varying PFA parameters: pulse amplitude (PA), pulse interval (PI), number of pulse trains (NT), and number of pulses in a pulse train (NP). Ablation outcomes assessed included three ablation sizes, surface temperature, and muscle contraction strength. Additionally, histological analysis was performed on the ablated tissue. We analyzed the relationship between PFA parameters and ablation outcomes, and results were then compared with those from a simulation using an electric-thermal coupling PFA finite element model.
Results: A linear relationship between ablation outcomes and PFA parameters was established. PA and NT exhibited extremely significant (P < 0.0001) and significant effects (P < 0.05) on all ablation outcomes, respectively. NP showed an extremely significant impact (P < 0.0001) on surface temperature and muscle contraction strength, while PI significantly influenced (P < 0.05) muscle contraction strength alone. Histological analysis revealed that PFA produces controlled, well-defined areas of liver tissue necrosis. Surface temperature results from simulations and experiments were highly consistent (R2 > 0.97).
Conclusions: This study clarifies the relationship between various PFA parameters and ablation outcomes, and aims to improve the efficacy and safety of PFA.
