Ex vivo tests showed good agreement with the numerical simulations, demonstrating the validity of the simplifications adopted to deal with the complex phenomena involved in the extreme hyperthermia of a living tissue. The high performance, thermal reliability, and robustness of the developed device were also demonstrated along with the possibility of reducing operation time and blood loss.
