Randomized trial demonstrates improved probe access in lung lesions, suggesting a new technique to overcome pleural tenting.

Exploring a new technique to improve access to lung lesions by overcoming visceral pleural tenting during thermal ablation procedures.
Described a technique using controlled thermal activation of the ablation probe.
Conducted procedures under general anesthesia with a controlled breath-hold technique.
Applied microwave energy or cryoablation probes for pleural dissection in four patients with metastatic lung lesions.
Immediate CT imaging confirmed successful pleural disruption in all cases, allowing probe advancement to target lesions.
No pneumothorax, pleural complications, or bronchial fistula were noted during or immediately after procedures.

Klein et al. (2026) studied this question.
