Prospective cohort study. All patients presenting for percutaneous abdomino-pelvic soft
tissue ablation, biopsy, or drainage performed under the care of Dr. Issam Kably will become
part of the study population. Based on prior imaging and/or imaging at the time of the
procedure, patients will fall into two groups, those for whom no compression is necessary to
complete the procedure and those for whom compression may provide benefit. These would be
selected based on Dr. Kably's experience as a practicing academic, fellowship-trained, and
CAQ'ed interventional radiologist. The latter group would then further subdivide into those
who give consent for use of the compression device and those who do not consent. Results of
each group would be measured including the following: termination versus successful
completion of the procedure; adverse events including bleeding or damage to surrounding
structures necessitating further medical or surgical intervention.


Inclusion Criteria:

- All-comers presenting for percutaneous abdomino-pelvic soft tissue ablation, biopsy,
or drainage .

Exclusion Criteria:

- Open surgical or traumatic abdominal wall.

- Active abdominal wall infection.
