Abstract
<b>OBJECTIVE.</b> Percutaneous ultrasound-guided breast cryoablation is a minimally invasive technique that kills targeted tissue with extreme cold, requires only local anesthesia, and takes less than 45 minutes to complete. <b>CONCLUSION.</b> We discuss the indications for breast cryoablation, the mechanism of cell death, and types of commercially available devices; illustrate procedural technique; and review expected follow-up imaging findings in treated primary breast cancer.
