Abstract

The application of advanced imaging guidance and the interventional radiology skill set has expanded the breadth of nerve and nerve plexus targets in the body for potential cryoneurolysis. Advancement of the basic science supporting cryoneurolysis has further solidified proceduralists' confidence and ability to select and manage patients clinically. As these procedures continue to evolve, a structured approach to the wide variety of indications is necessary.

Keywords: Cryoablation; Cryoneurolysis; Interventional.
