    摘要: Cryotherapeutic systems configured for refrigerant recompression and associated devices, systems, and methods are disclosed herein. A cryotherapeutic system configured in accordance with a particular embodiment includes a high-pressure line, a low-pressure line, a recompression unit, and a cryo-catheter. The recompression unit increases the pressure of refrigerant from the low-pressure line to the high-pressure line to a treatment pressure sufficient for cryogenic alteration of tissue. The high-pressure line and the low-pressure line include, respectively, a first connector and a second connector. The cryo-catheter includes a shaft, a supply lumen in the shaft that is coupled to the first connector, an exhaust lumen in the shaft that is coupled to the second connector, and a cryo-applicator attached to the shaft having a cooling chamber configured to receive refrigerant from the supply lumen and to return refrigerant via the exhaust lumen to the low-pressure line.

    摘要: A closed end surgical cryoprobe instrument with probe shaft diameter of 3 millimeters or less is made to achieve and maintain freezing zone temperatures close to that of the liquid cryogenic refrigerant. Using sub-cooled liquid nitrogen at approximately -208.degree. C. freezing zone temperatures as low as -206.degree. C. can be achieved in under 1 minute. The liquid nitrogen supply tube is provided with a plurality of small vent holes to vent gas formed or present in the refrigerant supply tube to the return refrigerant flow channel. The vent holes also allow small amount of liquid nitrogen to vent into the return flow channel to further reduce the temperature differential between the sub-cooled liquid nitrogen supply and the counter-current flowing return refrigerant.

    摘要: Devices and methods for cooling vessel walls to inhibit restenosis in conjunction with medical procedures such as coronary artery angioplasty. One catheter device includes a distal tube region having coolant delivery holes radially and longitudinally distributed along the distal region. In some devices, holes spray coolant directly onto the vessel walls. In other embodiments, a balloon or envelope is interposed between the coolant and the vessel walls and the coolant returned out of the catheter through a coolant return lumen. Some direct spray devices include an occlusion device to restrict blood flow past the region being cooled. Pressure, temperature, and ultrasonic probes are included in some cooling catheters. Some cooling catheters are coiled perfusion catheters supporting longer cooling periods by allowing perfusing blood flow simultaneously with vessel wall cooling.
