The goal of this study was to evaluate and model the risk of in-vivo thrombosis in each hepatic vessel type during hepatic microwave ablation as a function of vessel diameter, velocity and vessel-antenna spacing. A single microwave ablation antenna was inserted into a single porcine lobe (n=15 total) adjacent to a hepatic artery, hepatic vein, or portal vein branch. Conventional and Doppler ultrasound were used to measure the vessel diameter, blood flow velocity, and vessel-antenna spacing. A microwave ablation zone was then created at 100 W for 5 minutes. Thrombus formation was evaluated on immediate post-procedure ultrasound imaging. Logistic regression was used to evaluate the predictive value of vessel diameter, blood flow velocity and vessel-antenna spacing on vascular thrombosis. Thrombosis was identified in 53% of portal veins, 13% of hepatic veins and 0% of the hepatic arteries. The average peak blood flow rate of the hepatic artery was significantly greater than that of the hepatic vein and portal vein. Peak blood flow velocities less than 12.45 cm/sec, vessel diameters less than 5.10 mm and vessel-antenna spacings less than 3.75 mm were strong predictors of hepatic vein thrombosis. However, these individual factors were not predictive of the more common portal vein thrombosis. Hepatic arteries do not appear to be at risk for thrombosis during microwave ablation procedures. Portal vein thrombosis was more common than hepatic vein thrombosis during microwave ablation treatments, but was not as predictable based upon vessel diameter, flow velocities, or vessel-antenna spacing alone.
