Join physicians from Memorial Hermann Heart & Vascular Institute as they present an innovative non-surgical treatment of peripheral arterial disease using CryoPlasty Therapy on May 2, 2007 at 5:30 PM CDT on OR-Live.com
CryoPlasty® Therapy is an innovative new procedure that uses cooling therapy to remedy difficult-to-treat blood vessel blockage. CryoPlasty® Therapy is a form of angioplasty that gently cools and opens arteries clogged with plaque due to peripheral arterial disease (PAD). CryoPlasty® Therapy simultaneously dilates and treats atherosclerotic plaque. A balloon is delivered to the lesion and is inflated with nitrous oxide gas. The vessel wall is cooled with a 20-seond treatment at -10ºC.
