Aim. To study the structural changes of left atrium myocardium according to magnetic resonance imaging with contrast in patients persistent atrial fibrillation before and after balloon cryoablation compare results effectiveness intervention. Material methods research. The included 28 form fibrillation. All underwent cardiac delayed using a high-resolution MR pulse sequence (voxel size 1,25x1,25...

BACKGROUND Cardiophrenic angle lymph node metastases are relatively rare. Surgical resection is the main treatment for cardiophrenic angle lymph node metastasis, but it is not always possible. CASE PRESENTATION Here, we report our initial experience with cryoablation of a cardiophrenic angle lymph node metastasis from liver cancer. As the cardiophrenic angle lymph node metastasis was located ...

Thymoma is the most common primary tumor of the anterior mediastinum and often recurs after initial surgical resection. In this case series, percutaneous cryoablation, a locally ablative technique, was used to treat 25 mediastinal and pleural recurrent thymoma lesions in five patients. Safety and short-term efficacy data were collected. In 23 percutaneous cryoablations (92%), there were no or m...

Radiofrequency ablation procedures inside the left atrial appendage (LAA) are likely to involve dangerous complications because of a high thrombogenic effect. Cryoablation procedures are supposed to be safer. We describe two cases of successful cryoablation procedures. Two NavX-guided cryoablations of permanent focal atrial arrhythmias arising from the LAA were performed. Left atrial reconstruc...

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and cryoablation are alternative forms of therapy used widely in various pathological states, including treatment of carcinogenesis. The reason is that ablation techniques have ability of modulating the immune system. Furthermore, recent studies have applied this form of therapy on tumor microenvironment and in the systematic circulation. Moreover, RFA and cryoabla...

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia in clinical practice. Catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation plays an important role in the management of AF. Radiofrequency ablation is widely used in practice all over the world. Cryoablation has emerged as an alternative method for AF ablation. The FIRE and ICE trial was a non inferiority, multicentre, randomized trial that compared be...

Cryoablation is an emerging type of treatment for cancer. The sensitization tumors using cryosensitizing agents prior to enhances ablation efficiency and may improve clinical outcomes. Water efflux, which regulated by aquaporin channels, contributes cancer cell damage achieved through cryoablation. An increase in (AQP) 3 cryoprotective, whereas its inhibition augments cryodamage. present study ...

Cryoablation is a safe and minimally invasive therapy option that provided rapid durable pain relief, as well an improved quality of life in participants with bone metastases.
