description Abstract Objectives To compare the incidence of persistent air leak (PAL) following cryoablation vs MWA of lung tumors when the ablation zone includes the pleura. Methods This bi-institutional retrospective cohort study evaluated consecutive peripheral lung tumors treated with cryoablation or MWA from 2006 to 2021. PAL was defined as an air leak for more than 24 h after chest tube placement or an enlarging postprocedural pneumothorax requiring chest tube placement. The pleural area included by the ablation zone was quantified on CT using semi-automated segmentation. PAL incidence was compared between ablation modalities and a parsimonious multivariable model was developed to assess the odds of PAL using generalized estimating equations and purposeful selection of predefined covariates. Time-to-local tumor progression (LTP) was compared between ablation modalities using Fine-Gray models, with death as a competing risk. Results In total, 260 tumors (mean diameter, 13.1 mm ± 7.4; mean distance to pleura, 3.6 mm ± 5.2) in 116 patients (mean age, 61.1 years ± 15.3; 60 women) and 173 sessions (112 cryoablations, 61 MWA) were included. PAL occurred after 25/173 (15%) sessions. The incidence was significantly lower following cryoablation compared to MWA (10 [9%] vs 15 [25%]; p = .006). The odds of PAL adjusted for the number of treated tumors per session were 67% lower following cryoablation (odds ratio = 0.33 [95% CI, 0.14–0.82]; p = .02) vs MWA. There was no significant difference in time-to-LTP between ablation modalities (p = .36). Conclusions Cryoablation of peripheral lung tumors bears a lower risk of PAL compared to MWA when the ablation zone includes the pleura, without adversely affecting time-to-LTP. Key Points • The incidence of persistent air leaks after percutaneous ablation of peripheral lung tumors was lower following cryoablation compared to microwave ablation (9% vs 25%; p = .006). • The mean chest tube dwell time was 54% shorter following cryoablation compared to MWA (p = .04). • Local tumor progression did not differ between lung tumors treated with percutaneous cryoablation compared to microwave ablation (p = .36).
