This Month's Top Case: Quality Ablation close to the heart: part II A fast growing HCC in segment IVa on a patient 3 years post-hepatectomy located between the heart and portal vein was treated with successful planning, placement, and margin confirmation (8mm MAM). Thanks to the team at Gold Coast Hospital and Health Service led by Dr. Muddassir Rashid for sharing this case. Link to the full case report in the comments. Dr. Rashid said of the case: "Tumors like this one, close to the heart before we had CAS-One IR would have been unlikely ablation candidates, or at the very least would have taken 4+ hours. With CAS-One IR, we were able to plan, place, and ablate in about 45 minutes, and the ablation showed excellent tumor and margin coverage. We continute to have confidence in the device in situations like this where the lesion is close to a critical structure" Thijs Stoker Ted Farwell
