Cosa significa crioablazione?
La crioablazione renale è una tecnica chirurgica che prevede la distruzione delle cellule tumorali presenti nel rene mediante congelamento, trasformandole in tessuto cicatriziale. Può essere una valida alternativa terapeutica all'asportazione della massa tumorale dall'organo.
Come avviene la crioablazione?
Qui il palloncino viene ghiacciato a temperature di -40°/-50° per 3-4 minuti con lo scopo è di creare una lesione circonferenziale isolando la vena polmonare. Il procedimento viene poi ripetuto, se necessario, per tutte le quattro vene polmonari.
Dove fare l ablazione?

- Centro Medico Ippocrate.
- Biofertility.
Is cryoablation an alternative to radiofrequency ablation?
- Cryoablation has been explored as an alternative to radiofrequency ablation in the treatment of moderate to severe pain in people with metastatic bone disease. The area of tissue destruction created by this technique can be monitored more effectively by CT than RFA, a potential advantage when treating tumors adjacent to critical structures.
When was cryoablation first used to treat breast cancer?
- Since the 1960s, liver, prostate, breast, bone, and other cancers were being treated with cryoablation in many parts of the world. Japanese physician Dr. Tanaka began treating metastatic breast cancer cryoablation in 1968.
Can cryoablation be used to treat fibroadipose vascular anomalies?
- Cryoablation has recently been used to treat low-flow vascular malformations such as venous malformations (VM) and fibroadipose vascular anomalies (FAVA). Cryoablation has proved effective for treating these disorders both as primary treatment and after sclerotherapy.
How is cryoablation used to treat cardiac arrhythmias?
- Cardiac. Cryoablation is used in two types of intervention for the treatment of arrhythmias: (1) catheter -based procedures and (2) surgical operations. A catheter is a very thin tube that is inserted into a vein in the patient’s leg and threaded to the heart where it delivers energy to treat the patient’s arrhythmia.
