A novel technique of cryodenervation for murine vagus nerve: implications for acute lung inflammation.

Respir Res

January 2025

Department of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, Shanghai East Hospital, School of Medicine, Tongji University, Shanghai, 200092, China.

Background: Neuroimmune interaction is an underestimated mechanism for lung diseases, and cryoablation is a competitive advantageous technique than other non-pharmacologic interventions for peripheral nerve innervating the lung. However, a lack of cryodenervation model in laboratory rodents leads to the obscure mechanisms for techniques used in clinic.

Method: Herein, we developed a novel practical method for mouse peripheral nerve cryoablation, named visualized and simple cryodenervation (VSCD).

Background: Three recent randomized controlled trials demonstrated that, in patients with symptomatic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF), first-line pulmonary vein isolation with cryoballoon catheter ablation reduces atrial arrhythmia recurrence compared to initial antiarrhythmic drug (AAD) therapy. This study aimed to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of first-line cryoablation compared to first-line AADs from a German healthcare payer perspective.

Methods: Individual patient-level data from 703 participants with untreated PAF enrolled into three randomized clinical trials (Cryo-FIRST, STOP AF First and EARLY-AF) were used to derive parameters for the cost-effectiveness model (CEM).

Background: Transbronchial lung cryobiopsy (TBLC) has emerged as a promising diagnostic tool for interstitial lung disease (ILD). This study aimed to assess the initial experience, procedural learning curve, and influence of sedative medications on complication rates, particularly bleeding and pneumothorax, in the implementation of a TBLC program for ILD diagnosis.

Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, we analysed 119 patients who underwent TBLC at Nippon Medical School Hospital from April 2021 to March 2024.

Background: This pilot prospective study aimed to evaluate ultrasound-guided cryoablation of breast cancer (BC) by assessing: (i) technical efficacy as the presence of necrosis in surgical specimens and rate of complete tumor ablation; (ii) safety as incidence and severity of complications; and (iii) patients' satisfaction using a dedicated questionnaire. In addition, (iv) we tested the capability of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) to predict cryoablation efficacy.

Methods: From 07/2022 to 01/2023, we enrolled 20 patients with early-stage BC scheduled for breast surgery.
