Ultrasound-guided cryoablation of genitofemoral nerve for chronic inguinal pain.
BACKGROUND Cryotechnology is a modality of renewed interest in pain management. It is safe and effective when used to treat neuropathies of sensory and mixed nerves. Cryoablation, in general, is devoid of the risk of neuroma formation and can provide several weeks to months of adequate pain relief. Traditionally, cryoablation was applied blindly to the target area. The use of ultrasound guidanc...
متن کاملCryoablation-induced phrenic nerve dysfunction with preserved inspiratory function of the diaphragm.
A 49-year-old woman underwent cryoballoon pulmonary vein isolation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Right phrenic nerve palsy developed during submaximal phrenic nerve stimulation. Despite the inability to stimulate the phrenic nerve with pacing, diaphragmatic excursion during inspiration was preserved. This case demonstrates that submaximal threshold stimulation allows detection of early ph...
متن کاملImaging before cryoablation of atrial fibrillation: is phrenic nerve palsy predictable?
AIMS Multidetector computerized tomography (MDCT) with improved temporal and spatial resolution is one of the most commonly used non-invasive tests for evaluation of pulmonary veins (PVs) and adjacent structures before cryoablation of atrial fibrillation (AF). Identification of spatial neighbouring of phrenic nerves is important to decrease likelihood of phrenic nerve palsy (PNP). The purpose o...
متن کاملPercutaneous CT-guided cryoablation of the dorsal penile nerve for treatment of symptomatic premature ejaculation.
PURPOSE To evaluate expansion of image-guided interventional cryoablation techniques usually employed for pain management to address the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of treatment for a urologic condition with otherwise limited treatment options, premature ejaculation (PE). MATERIALS AND METHODS Prospective institutional review board approval was obtained, and 24 subjects with PE were enr...
متن کاملCell Accelerated Cryoablation Simulation
Tumor cryoablation is a clinical procedure where supercooled probes are used to destroy cancerous lesions. Cryoablation is a safe and effective palliative treatment for skeletal metastases, providing immediate and long term pain relief, increasing mobility and improving quality of life. Ideally, lesions are encompassed by an ice ball and frozen to a sufficiently low temperature to ensure cell d...
