Zusammenfassung

Purpose: To analyse the effectiveness of PLA in cirrhotic patients with HCC submitted to OLT. Methods: Data of 10 cirrhotic patients (all males, mean age 52,8yrs; Child-Pugh class A/B/C=5/4/1; 6 cases with a single tumor nodule) undergoing OLT between 2002 and 2006 were reviewed. Twelve biopsy-proven HCC tumors (mean diameter 2cm, range 1,5–3cm) underwent PLA treatments carried out by inserting 300 nm optical fibers through 21-g needles (from two to four) positioned under US guidance into the target lesions. A continuous wave Nd:YAG laser operating at a wave length of 1,064 nm was used. Seven tumors underwent a…
