Relative Effects of Various Factors on Ice Ball Formation and Ablation Zone Size During Ultrasound-Guided Percutaneous Cryoneurolysis: A Laboratory Investigation to Inform Clinical Practice and Future Research

Abstract Introduction Ultrasound-guided percutaneous cryoneurolysis provides analgesia using cold temperatures to reversibly ablate peripheral nerves. Cryoneurolysis probes pass a gas through a small internal annulus, rapidly lowering the pressure and temperature, forming an ice ball to envelope the...
