I wanted it all out of the way as quickly as possible so that I could get back to work! I chose cryoablation because it was minimally invasive and there was a good chance that my renal [kidney] function could be preserved. .
The Presice® Cryoablation System is intended for the cryoablative destruction of tissue during minimally invasive percutaneous procedures. During a cryoablation procedure, extreme cold is delivered through very small needles (1.5 mm or 2.4 mm diameter), creating an iceball to destroy the targeted tissue. The physician monitors the ablation zone to ensure adequate treatment using direct visualization or image guidance such as ultrasound or computed tomography (CT).
The Presice System features a mobile console with a user interface to control the circulation of high-pressure gases (argon for freezing, helium for thawing) through closed-tip cryoablation needles connected to the system. This system provides for use of i-Thaw® needles to actively thaw ice without the use of helium. Real-time temperature monitoring, through thermal sensors connected to the system, enables procedural control to protect critical anatomy.
