| Description | Purpose To demonstrate the feasibility of irreversible electroporation for treating biliary metal stent occlusion in an experimental liver model. Conclusion Endoluminal IRE using an expandable tubular catheter in simulated metal stent occlusion is feasible. The relationship of active catheter electrodes to stent ingrowth tissue can be estimated based on resistance values. |
