Liquid nitrogen-based cryoablation: complication rates for lung, bone, and soft tissue tumors cryoablation.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study aimed to assess the complication rate during and 24 hours after cryoablation in lung, bone, and soft tissue tumors.

Methods

We reviewed complications in a total of 85 consecutive patients who underwent cryoablation using a liquid nitrogen-based system in various lesions between April 2017 and October 2022. There were no liver and renal lesions. Complications were categorized using the Society of Interventional Radiology classification.

Results

Eighty-five patients were treated for 96 lesions in the bone (36.4%; 35 of 96), lung (18.8%; 18 of 96), and soft tissue (44.8%; 43 of 96). The primary technical success rate was 97.7% (83 of 85). The total grade 2 and 1 complication rates were 5.2% (5/96) and 20.8% (20/96), respectively. Two patients had asy
