Abstract
High-frequency jet ventilation (HFJV) can reduce organ movement that otherwise complicates percutaneous image-guided ablation (IGA) procedures. This study describes feasibility and safety of the technique in routine use. We describe our method for the use of HFJV and present 169 consecutive cases, including IGA of tumors of the lung, liver, kidney, and pancreas. Intended oncological treatment was delivered in all cases and HFJV used for the duration of treatment in all except one case. We describe the characteristics of patients, procedures, and adverse events. It is feasible to use HFJV as the routine standard of care for IGA.
