Comparison between extent of tissue ablation from electrolysis, electroporation and combination electroporation and electrolysis.

Applied parameters are given in Table 1. (A),(C),(E),(G) Gross macroscopic sections. (B),(D),(F),(H) Trichromatic stained slides. (A) and (B) Electrolysis; 50 mA for 5 minutes. (C) and (D) Electroporation; 500 V, 100 microsecond pulse, 1 Hz, 16 pulses. (E) and (F) Electroporation; 500 V, 100 microsecond pulse, 1 Hz, 8 pulses, followed by electrolysis; 50 mA for 5 minutes. (G) and (H) Electroporation; 500 V, 100 microsecond pulse, 1 Hz, 8 pulses, followed by electrolysis; 50 mA for 5 minutes, followed by electroporation; 500 V, 100 microsecond pulse, 1 Hz, 8 pulses. Scale bar shows 1 cm. Arrows point to lesions.
