ABSTRACT:
Cryosurgery may be performed by a microinvasive technique employing a novel cryosurgical probe. It is very thin, very long, and highly flexible. These characteristics are achieved by a construction consisting of a tube within a tube with no intermediate supporting elements therebetween. The probe is capable of being passed through a blood vessel and into the heart without external guidance other than the blood vessel itself.
