Abstract Abdominal wall metastases are rarely seen in primary colorectal cancer; the majority of cases attributed to seeding from previous procedures. We report a case percutaneous cryoablation metastatic cancer abdominal with no evidence recurrence 1 year later.

There is limited data on the actual burden and pattern of atrial arrhythmia in patients clinically diagnosed with persistent fibrillation (AF). To analyze using continuous cardiac rhythm monitoring early AF (less than 3 years from onset AF) during pre-cryoablation period. The COOL-PER trial an investigated-initiated, multicenter, prospective cohort study evaluating efficacy cryoablation AF. Per...

We describe our first 20 cases of cryoablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) using transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). Continuous procedural monitoring with TEE by a cardiologist and senior sonographer assists the electrophysiologist in performance of the cryoballoon procedure of AF. Previously using intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) we have found TEE to have better overall procedural imagi...

The use of cryosurgery to ablate tumors is expanding, primarily due to its technical ease and minimal morbidity. A potential secondary advantage to the in situ freezing of malignant disease is the cryo-immunologic response, the generation of an anti-tumor immune response triggered by the natural absorption of the malignant tissue. While initially proposed based on clinical observations of dista...
