PBLite Clinical Cases
Clinical Case no.1
Primary liver tumour close to vascular structures
A patient with partially exophytic liver cancer (white arrow in the Figure), located between a branch of the portal vein and the vena cava, underwent Laser Thermotherapy using four fibres, two positioned in the upper section of the portal vein and two in the lower section. The lesion which was particularly difficult to treat due to the surrounding veins, was completely ablated without any alterations to the surrounding vascular structures.

Clinical Case no.2:
Secondary colorectal cancer close to the heart
A patient with an 8-mm metastasis of the liver in segment I extremely close to the pericardium, was subjected to Laser Thermotherapy. The lesion was completely ablated without any complications involving the critical neighbouring structures such as pericardial effusion.
