摘要
Irreversible electroporation (IRE), is a new non-thermal tissue ablation technology in which brief high electric field pulses are delivered across the target tissue to induce cell death by irreversible permeabilization of the cell membrane. A deficiency of conventional IRE is that the ablation zone is relatively small, bounded by the irreversible electroporation isoelectric field margin. In the previous studies we have introduced a new treatment protocol that combines few short high voltage (SHV) pulses with long low-voltage (LLV) pulses. In the previous studies, we also have shown that the addition of few SHV pulses increases by almost a factor of two the area ablated by a protocol that employs only the LLV pulses. This study employs potato and gel phantom to generate a plausible explanation for the mechanism. The study provides circumstantial evidence that the mechanism involved is the production of electrolytic compounds by the LLV pulse sequence, which causes tissue ablation beyond the margin of the irreversible electroporation isoelectric field generated by the SHV pulses, presumable to the reversible electroporation isoelectric field margin generated by the SHV pulses.
