The patients after MWA were examined by CT or MRI [follow-up: 32\u00a0months (IQR 23\u201348.5)] to determine whether the lesions were relapsed and to evaluate the therapeutic effect of MWA. The safety of MWA was evaluated by monitoring postoperative complications. Clinical data, such as patient demographics, imaging features of the lesions, relevant findings of laboratory tests before and after ablation, and information related to ablation, were collected and analyzed. Paired-sample t tests and paired-sample Wilcoxon signed-rank tests were used to compare relevant laboratory indicators before and after MWA.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      MWA was applied to 57 HAE lesions in 45 patients. The median size of lesions was 3.42\u00a0cm (IQR2.85\u20134.41). The rate of complete ablation was 100% (57\/57). The median follow-up time was 32\u00a0months (IQR 23\u201348.5). The recurrence rate was 13% (6\/45), and the median time of recurrence was 22\u00a0months. The rate of minor complications was 11.1% (5\/45), and there were no major complications and deaths.
