CryoICE Cryoanalgesia Registry for Managing Post-Cardiothoracic Surgery Pain Using AtriCure Cryo Nerve Block Device

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are collecting data in a multicenter patient registry to observe outcomes in patients who undergo cryoablation of the intercostal nerves, known as cryoanalgesia, for managing pain after cardiothoracic surgery. This observational study aims to record both retrospective and prospective information from patients treated with this approach, focusing on post-operative pain relief. Participants include those who have been scheduled to receive or have already received cryoablation using the AtriCure Cryo Nerve Block Device Family or similar devices. The study monitors patients who used the device for post-operative pain management as well as comparable patients treated without cryoablation. During the study, researchers will gather data on the effectiveness and safety of the cryo nerve block for pain control from enrollment through five years after the surgical procedure. Participants outcomes are recorded to understand long-term pain management results. The registry is observational, so patients continue their usual care while their data is collected and analyzed.
