Percutaneous cryoablation of pulmonary tumors at the posterior lung base is challenging due to diaphragmatic motion and the requirement for prone positioning. High-frequency jet ventilation allows oxygenation and ventilation with minimal diaphragmatic movement. In this case report, we describe the use of high-frequency jet ventilation in the prone position to facilitate the cryoablation of a peridiaphragmatic pulmonary neoplasm.
