Brief summary
Post-Market Clinical Follow-up study in order to consolidate performance and safety data of the EPIONE® device when used for percutaneous procedures in the abdomen
Detailed description
The objective of this PMCF study is to compile data on the routine use of the EPIONE® device in subjects undergoing CT-guided percutaneous procedures in the abdomen. The objectives are: 1. to evaluate the technical success of the device 2. to evaluate performance parameters (accuracy measures, adjustements, post-intervention ablation success, local tumor recurrence, operator satisfaction) and the safety of the device 55 patients are planned in this post-market study.
Interventions
The EPIONE device is a user controlled, stereotactic accessory intended to assist in the planning and manual advancement of one or more instruments, as well as in verification of instrument position during Computed Tomography (CT) guided percutaneous procedures.
