- Abstract: ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of high-frequency irreversible electroporation （H-FIRE） in the ablation of pig pancreatic tissue. MethodsLaparotomy was conducted in this study， and needle electrodes were used to release electric pulses in 12 pigs. Three sets of parameters were established for ablation at the low， medium， and high values of field strength （1 000 V/cm， 1 500 V/cm， and 2 500 V/cm）. The groups were compared in terms of the data including postoperative recovery， ablation area， and histopathological features to validate the safety and efficacy of H-FIRE in the ablation of porcine pancreatic tissue. The paired t-test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups. ResultsAll pigs in the experiment survived and showed a good effect of ablation. The histopathological analysis of all groups showed thorough and effective ablation， with a clear boundary between the ablated area and the normal tissue area. The mean ablation area in the low， medium， and high field strength groups was 30.96±3.73 mm2， 51.93±25.26 mm2， and 108.90±55.23 mm2， respectively， and the high and medium field strength groups had a significantly larger ablation area than the low field strength group （both P<0.05）， while there was no significant difference in ablation area between the medium and high field strength groups （P>0.05）. ConclusionH-FIRE ablation is safe and effective for porcine pancreatic tissue under specific ablation parameters.
