Pyogenic Granuloma: Surgical Treatment with Er:YAG Laser.

INTRODUCTION: Pyogenic granuloma (PG) is a common tumor-like growth of the oral cavity, considered to be of non-neoplastic nature, often caused by constant low-grade trauma as well as poor oral hygiene and maybe due to hormonal disturbances. Surgical excision, and removal of underlying cause in some cases, is the preferred method of treatment as it is only a benign lesion.In order to remove this lesion, scalpel, cryosurgery and laser are used. Currently different lasers, with adequate parameters, are used for the surgery of PG, which include CO2 (Carbon Dioxide Laser), Nd:YAG (Neodymium-Doped …

Pulmonary infectious complications associated with the addition of cryobiopsy to conventional sampling for peripheral pulmonary lesions: a retrospective study.

BACKGROUND: Cryobiopsy is used in addition to conventional sampling during endobronchial ultrasound (rEBUS)-guided bronchoscopy for peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPLs) to improve diagnostic yield. However, the incremental risk of procedure-related pulmonary infection remains poorly quantified in routine clinical practice. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed consecutive patients who underwent rEBUS-guided bronchoscopy for PPLs between January 2019 and March 2022. Patients were categorized into those undergoing combined conventional biopsy and cryobiopsy and those undergoing conventional biops

Impact of Pulmonary Vein Anatomy on Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Cryoballoon Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation.

BACKGROUND: Effective pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) using cryoballoon (CB) ablation relies on adequate pulmonary vein (PV) occlusion, which may be influenced by PV and left atrial (LA) anatomy. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the impact of PV and LA anatomy, assessed by cardiac computed tomography (CT), on long-term outcomes and complications following CB ablation for AF. METHODS: This retrospective study included 416 patients (54.8% female, mean age 57.5 ± 12.4 years) who underwent CB ablation for symptomatic AF. Paroxysmal AF was present in 87% and persistent AF in 13% of patients. Arctic Front A

Budget Impact Analysis of Pulsed Field Versus Cryoballoon and Laser Procedures for Atrial Fibrillation in Italy.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia, with a higher prevalence due to the ageing of the population. Traditional ablation techniques, such as cryoballoon ablation (CB) and laser ablation (LA), are widely used but may be associated with longer procedure times and a risk of collateral tissue injury. Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is an emerging non-thermal technology that uses electroporation, with early evidence suggesting a favourable safety profile and improved procedural efficiency. This study assessed the budget impact of the introd

Achieving no evidence of disease in metastatic renal cell carcinoma: Consolidative nephrectomy vs ablative therapy.

INTRODUCTION: Systemic therapies (ST1) have improved outcomes in metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC2) but have a limited effect on the primary renal tumor. As deeper responses improve survival, consolidative treatment (CT3) to achieve "No Evidence of Disease" is increasingly considered. While surgery remains the standard, renal cryoablation (CA4), a less invasive option, is gaining interest. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We conducted a retrospective single-center study (2010-2025) of synchronous mRCC patients undergoing CT after achieving a complete metastatic response with ICI±TKI. Evaluated moda

Initial Pre-Clinical Evaluation of the Augmented Ultra-Low Temperature Cryoablation Catheter for Ventricular Ablations.

INTRODUCTION: Ultra-low Temperature Cryoablation (ULTC) using nitrogen cryogen near its boiling temperature of -196°C is a novel cardiac ablation modality capable of producing titratable lesions with depth exceeding 10 mm and has been recently introduced for catheter treatment of drug-refractory ventricular tachycardia (VT). The ablative action of ULTC can be further augmented by the expansion of the cryogen within the ablation element yielding even lower ablation temperatures while optimizing mechanical handling characteristics of the catheter. METHODS: The purpose of this report is to asses

RATIONALE: Cryotherapy and its diagnostic analogue, cryobiopsy, are emerging techniques via bronchoscopy with a wide range of clinical applications. While the use of cryotherapy and cryobiopsy has been established in adult pulmonary medicine, pediatric data describing the indications, procedural specifics, outcomes, and complications are limited. OBJECTIVE: To describe the indications, procedural specifics, outcomes, and complications of cryotherapy and cryobiopsy use in pediatric bronchoscopy. METHODS: A multicenter retrospective observational study was conducted at 5 pediatric hospitals in

Optimization of Cryoablation Catheter-Tissue Contact Using the Contact Index.

INTRODUCTION: Cryoablation is widely used for septal paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia because of its lower risk of atrioventricular block; however, real-time quantitative assessment of catheter-tissue contact is limited. METHODS AND RESULTS: We describe a modified configuration enabling visualization of the contact index (CI) during cryoablation with the Freezor Xtra catheter, supported by in vitro validation and two clinical cases. In vitro testing demonstrated progressive CI elevation with decreasing catheter-tissue distance. Successful lesions were achieved at CI values of approxima

National trends and in-hospital costs of atrial fibrillation ablation by energy source in Japan: Insights from the JROAD-DPC nationwide database.

BACKGROUND: The economic burden of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation is growing, yet real-world cost differences by energy source remain unclear. This study aimed to evaluate national trends and in-hospital costs associated with different AF ablation energy sources in Japan. METHODS: We analyzed JROAD-DPC data from April 2017 to March 2023. Patients undergoing AF ablation were categorized by energy source: radiofrequency (RF), cryothermal (Cryo), or hot/laser balloon. The primary outcome was total in-hospital cost per procedure. In-hospital complications were assessed as secondary outcomes.

Feasibility and safety of zero-fluoro, "apron-less" approach to repeat pulmonary vein isolation procedures using radiofrequency energy after initial cryoballoon ablation.

We aimed to investigate the feasibility and safety of zero-fluoro approach for the repeat atrial fibrillation (AF) procedures after initial cryoballoon (CB) ablation. We have performed a retrospective study on patients that have undergone repeat pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) procedures in our institution since zero-fluoro program was initiated in 2020. All patients received CB ablation for the initial procedure. Repeat procedures were performed under conscious sedation and with intracardiac echo (ICE) and 3D mapping system - without the use of fluoroscopy and lead aprons. We have analysed in

Comparison of the Oncologic Outcomes of Cryoablation, Laser Ablation, and Hyperthermia for Localized Prostate Cancer: A Population-Based Cohort Study Using the SEER Database.

OBJECTIVE: Ablative therapies, including cryoablation (CA), laser ablation (LA), and hyperthermia (HT), are increasingly used for localized prostate cancer, but large-scale comparative evidence on their long-term oncologic outcomes is scarce. This study aimed to compare cancer-specific survival (CSS) and overall survival (OS) among patients treated with these modalities. METHODS: Using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database (2000-2019), we identified patients with localized prostate cancer treated with CA, LA, or HT between 2010 and 2019. Propensity score matching (PS

MRI Fusion Cryoablation: Is There an Outcome Difference Between Anterior and Posterior Lesions?

Introduction: Cryotherapy pioneered ablation therapy for prostate cancer (PCa), initially using larger ablations. As the technique advanced, a more targeted approach was developed irrespective of lesion location. However, some clinical guidelines have addressed concerns for treating posterior areas. This study evaluates the validity of these concerns. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively studied 814 Magnetic Resonance Imaging Fusion Target Cryotherapy (MRFTC) treatment-naïve patients with PCa with a single index lesion (2013-2023) under local anesthesia. We grouped by treatment location:

The Diagnostic Efficiency and Safety of Transbronchial Lung Cryobiopsy Using 1.1-mm Cryoprobe in Diagnosing Interstitial Lung Disease.
