OBJECTIVE To assess the safety and efficacy of CT-guided microwave ablation (MWA) of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) near large blood vessels and the diaphragm by analyzing procedural complications and local tumor progression (LTP). METHODS From October 2013 through January 2019, 80 patients (54 males and 26 females) with 136 tumors who underwent CT-guided MWA of HCC were included in this retrospective analysis. MWA was performed on 43 perivascular HCC (≤5 mm from a vessel measuring ≥5 mm in diameter), 38 subdiaphragmatic HCC (≤5 mm from diaphragm), and 64 control HCC. Risk factors for local tumor progression (LTP), overall survival, and complications were analyzed using the Chi-square and Cox proportional hazards model methods. RESULTS The technical success rate of MWA was 100%. Complication incidence was not significantly different between perivascular and control tumors (20.9% vs 10.9%; p = 0.155) or between subdiaphragmatic and control tumors (21.1% vs 10.9%; p = 0.163). The effect of lesion location on LTP disappeared while controlling for age and lesion size. There was no significant difference in median survival time between patients who had only control tumors (38.8 months) compared to patients with at least one perivascular or subdiaphragmatic tumor (42.5 months; p = 0.098). CONCLUSIONS CT-guided percutaneous MWA of perivascular and subdiaphragmatic HCC tumors is safe and effective. The local tumor recurrence and survival was not significantly different compared to control tumors.

D006528 Carcinoma, Hepatocellular A primary malignant neoplasm of epithelial liver cells. It ranges from a well-differentiated tumor with EPITHELIAL CELLS indistinguishable from normal HEPATOCYTES to a poorly differentiated neoplasm. The cells may be uniform or markedly pleomorphic, or form GIANT CELLS. Several classification schemes have been suggested.

D017115 Catheter Ablation Removal of tissue with electrical current delivered via electrodes positioned at the distal end of a catheter. Energy sources are commonly direct current (DC-shock) or alternating current at radiofrequencies (usually 750 kHz). The technique is used most often to ablate the AV junction and/or accessory pathways in order to interrupt AV conduction and produce AV block in the treatment of various tachyarrhythmias.
