Irreversible electroporation for nonthermal tumor ablation in the clinical setting: a systematic review of safety and efficacy.
Hester J. Scheffer,Karin Nielsen,Marcus C. de Jong,Aukje A. J. M. van Tilborg,J.M. Vieveen,Arthur R A Bouwman,Sybren L. Meijer,Cornelis van Kuijk,Petrousjka van den Tol,Martijn R. Meijerink +9 more
TL;DR: Overall, the future of IRE for difficult-to-reach tumors appears promising, and in cases where other techniques are unsuitable, IRE is a promising modality for the ablation of tumors near bile ducts and blood vessels.

Percutaneous Image-Guided Irreversible Electroporation for the Treatment of Unresectable, Locally Advanced Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma
Govindarajan Narayanan,Peter J. Hosein,Isabelle C. Beulaygue,Tatiana Froud,Hester J. Scheffer,Shree Venkat,Ana Echenique,Elizabeth C. Hevert,Alan S. Livingstone,Caio Rocha-Lima,Jaime R. Merchan,Joseph U. Levi,Jose M. Yrizarry,Riccardo Lencioni +13 more
TL;DR: Percutaneous image-guided IRE of unresectable LAPC is associated with an acceptable safety profile and tumor size was confirmed as the only independent predictor of OS at multivariate analysis.

Karin Nielsen,Hester J. Scheffer,J.M. Vieveen,A.A.J.M. van Tilborg,Sybren L. Meijer,C. van Kuijk,M.P. van den Tol,Martijn R. Meijerink,R. A. Bouwman +8 more
TL;DR: Side-effects during IRE on tumours in the liver, pancreas, kidney, and lesser pelvis seem mild and manageable when current recommendations for anaesthesia management, including deep muscle relaxation and ECG synchronized pulsing, are followed.

Thermal Energy during Irreversible Electroporation and the Influence of Different Ablation Parameters
Willemien van den Bos,Hester J. Scheffer,Jantien A. Vogel,Peter G. K. Wagstaff,Daniel M. de Bruin,Marcus C. de Jong,Martin J. C. van Gemert,Jean J.M.C.H. de la Rosette,Martijn R. Meijerink,John H. G. M. Klaessens,Rudolf M. Verdaasdonk +10 more
TL;DR: Voltage, pulse length, interelectrode distance, active tip length, ATL, and electrode configuration each have a strong effect on temperature development and distribution during IRE.
