Abstract No. 24 External validation of the renal ablation-specific P-RAC scoring system to predict procedure complexity or complications from percutaneous renal ablation

Abstract

The percutaneous renal ablation complexity (P-RAC) score is a renal ablation-specific scoring system reported to predict the complexity of a percutaneous renal ablation (PA), including number of probe insertions, procedure duration, and requirement of adjunctive techniques such as hydrodissection. Yet, it has not yet been tested against an external population of patients or in modalities other than microwave ablation (MWA). The purpose of this study is to validate the ability of the P-RAC score to predict the complexity of PA in an external population that underwent either MWA or cryoablation (CA).
