ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
We aimed to evaluate the effect of transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) with iodized oil (Lipiodol) on temperature change during cryoablation (CA) for renal cell carcinoma (RCC). MATERIAL ANDMETHODS:
We retrospectively reviewed patients receiving CA for RCC from February 2020 to July 2021, including those who received Lipiodol TAE prior to CA (TAE group) and those who underwent only CA with comparable clinical and tumor characteristics (non-TAE group). Clinical data and tumor characteristics of both groups were recorded. The temperature readings of each cryoprobe at every 15 s and 'time to -100 °C' were compared between the groups.RESULTS:
A total of 17 patients with 18 RCCs were recruited (seven in the TAE group and 11 in the non-TAE group). The 'time to -100 °C' was significantly longer in the TAE group than in the non-TAE group (64.5 ± 24.3 s vs. 48.8 ± 9.7 s, p = 0.018). Positive correlation between 'time to -100 °C' and tumor maximal diameter, RENAL nephrometry and PADUA score were observed in the non-TAE group, while no corresponding correlation was found in the TAE group.CONCLUSIONS:
Pre-embolization with iodized oil influences the temporal temperature changes during cryoablation by disrupting the positive correlation between the time to reach the target temperature and tumor characteristics.
