A 81-year-old male patient with advanced metastatic cholangiocarcinoma received repeat histotripsy treatment (initial treatment (b)(6) 2025, total ptv 49.0 cc) on (b)(6) 2025, to a single lesion in segment v, with two partially overlapping planned treatment volumes (ptvs) reported as ptv 1: total ptv = 31 cc, ptv 2: total ptv = 29.5cc, for a total ptv of 60.5 cc.The patient was discharged post-procedure without incident and ultimately returned home.On post-operative day 3 ((b)(6) 2025), he developed anuria, and his creatinine rose to 7.The treating physician reported that the patient underwent hemodialysis and had some urine output, with a diagnosis of acute tubular necrosis (atn) attributed to a combination of anesthesia, histotripsy, and nsaid use, with possible contribution from acute interstitial nephritis (ain).The patient remained dialysis-dependent, but on-going hypotension complicated management.The family ultimately elected to withdraw care and the patient died on (b)(6) 2025.No device malfunctions or other noteworthy events occurred during the case.
