Cryotherapy

Cryotherapy is the use of extreme cold to freeze and destroy diseased tissue. CrypPlasty is a type of cryotherapy specifically targeting peripheral artery disease (PAD). This new and innovative type of vascular therapy gently cools while simultaneously opening arteries clogged with plaque.

CrypPlasty appears to be a promising alternative in combating the stubborn problems of arteries reclogging. Nine months after treatment with CryoPlasty, 85% of treated clogged leg arteries remained open according to interim results of a multicenter study.
