Potential Mechanisms of Vascular Thrombosis after Microwave Ablation in an  in Vivo Liver

Conclusions Large PVs exhibit thrombosis more frequently than HVs during MW ablation procedures. Biologic differences in thrombogenicity, rather than heat transfer, between PVs and HVs may contribute to their different rates of thrombosis.
