Comparison between Continuous and Intermittent Ablation Using a 1470-nm Radial 2ring Slim Fiber Laser: Safety Implications for Percutaneous Ablation of Perforators

Abstract

Objectives: Ablation is a treatment modality involving the destruction of diseased tissue through direct contact or direct energy absorption. This comparative experimental study aimed to understand the differences between 2 types of ablation, continuous and intermittent ablation. Methods: Using albumen and agar as media, we compared medium denaturation and temperature, respectively, between the continuous wave (continuous ablation) and pulse (intermit-
