Purpose: To compare the intensity of muscle contractions in in-eversible electroporation (IRE) treatments when traditional IRE and high frequency IRE (H-FIRE) waveforms are used in combination with a single applicator and distal grounding pad (A+GP) configuration. Materials and Methods: An ex vivo in situ porcine model was used to compare muscle contractions induced by traditional monopolar IRE waveforms vs high-frequency bipolar IRE waveforms. Pulses with voltages between 200 and 5,000 V were investigated, and muscle contractions were recorded by using accelerometers placed on or near the applicators. Results: H-FIRE waveforms reduced the intensity of muscle contractions in comparison with traditional monopolar IRE pulses. A high-energy burst of 2-mu s alternating-polarity pulses energized for 200 mu s at 4,500 V produced less intense muscle contractions than traditional IRE pulses, which were 25-100 mu s in duration at 3,000 V. Conclusions: H-FIRE appears to be an effective technique to mitigate the muscle contractions associated with traditional IRE pulses. This may enable the use of voltages greater than 3,000 V necessary for the creation of large ablations in vivo.
