Duodenal mucosal ablation with irreversible electroporation reduces liver lipids in rats with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

Figure 2 Operation of duodenal mucosal ablation using irreversible electroporation in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease rats. A-C: Ablation catheter; D: Finite element analysis of electrode electric field distribution during operation. Duodenal mucosal ablation was performed using electroporation induced by a 250 V/cm electric field strength (pulse duration: 100 μs, pulse number: 90, and frequency: 1 Hz); E: Rats receiving duodenal mucosal ablation using irreversible electroporation; F and G: Macroscopic observation of the duodenum preoperatively and postoperatively.
