Hypertension and tachycardia induced by irreversible electroporation in pancreatic cancer: An analysis based on clinical data

Figure 1 The distances between the electrodes and the abdominal aorta/adrenal gland when blood pressure and heart rate increase during irreversible electroporation in one of the patients. A: Baseline blood pressure was 126/66 mmHg; B: Intro-irreversible electroporation blood pressure was 194/107 mmHg; C: The distance between the electrode and the abdominal aorta was 0.70 cm (arrows); D: Baseline heart rate was 92 beats per minute; E: Intro-irreversible electroporation heart rate was 134 beats per minute; F: The distance between the electrode and the adrenal gland was 0.52 cm (arrows).

Figure 2 Correlation between hemodynamic parameters and distance of electrode from aorta/adrenal gland in pancreatic cancer patients treated with irreversible electroporation. A: Correlation between systolic blood pressure and distance of electrode from abdominal aorta; B: Correlation between heart rate and distance of electrode from adrenal gland. bpm: Beats per minute.
