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
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.
