Adverse effects: Potential adverse effects with this device are similar to other cardiac surgery procedures and may include the following:
- Bleeding
- Reoperation
- Extension of extracorporeal bypass
- Heart rhythm disturbances (atrial and/or ventricular)
- Pericardial effusion
- Pericarditis
- Cardiac tamponade
- Pleural effusion
- Mediastinitis
- Conduction disturbances (SA/AV node)
- Acute ischemic myocardial event
- Thrombus formation
- Low cardiac output
- Stroke
- Renal, gastrointestinal, or respiratory complications
- Sepsis
- Adjacent structural damage
- Death
Cryoablation involving coronary vessels has been associated with subsequent clinically significant arterial stenosis. It is unknown whether cryoablation with the Cardioblate CryoFlex Surgical Ablation Probe will have such an effect, but as in all such procedures, care should be taken to minimize unnecessary contact with coronary vessels during cryoablation.

Valleylab FT10 energy platform
Indications: The Valleylab™ FT10 Energy Platform is a high-frequency electrosurgical generator intended for use with monopolar and bipolar accessories for cutting and coagulating tissue. When used with compatible sealing devices, it is indicated for sealing vessels up to and including 7 mm, tissue bundles, and lymphatics. When used with compatible ablation devices, it is indicated for cardiac tissue ablation. The generator can also be used with compatible resectoscopes for endoscopically controlled removal or coagulation of tissue using 0.9% NaCl solution as the irrigation medium.
