Linear epicardial cryoablation effects in a porcine model: Lesion characteristics and vascular risk

ConclusionSingle application freezes with an aluminum linear cryoablation probe can create homogeneous ablative lesions over the ventricular myocardium with a maximum depth of approximately 1.0  cm. No large vessel injury occurred with direct lesion application of the LAD; however, small coronary vessels may be at risk.
