Comparative StudyIntelligent, impedance-regulated, pulsed coagulation in a porcine renal artery model.
To compare the efficacy of conventional pulsed coagulation (CPC) and newly developed intelligent, impedance-regulated, pulsed coagulation (IPC) in the sealing of porcine renal arteries. ⋯ In an isolated porcine renal artery model, self-regulating modulation of energy-based vessel coagulation achieved superior thermal fusion of vascular tissue than did CPC. This promising novel technique should be analyzed further to determine its in vivo efficacy in long-term studies.
