Abstract
A method of interrupting sympathetic stimulation to the cardiovascular system of a patient in need thereof includes navigating a probe of a hand-held cryogenic therapy apparatus to a stellate ganglion or an autonomic tissue area peripheral to the stellate ganglion of the patient, the probe including a needle configured to produce a cooling zone for focused cryogenic therapy, aligning the needle with one or more desired nerves of the stellate ganglion or the autonomic tissue area peripheral to the stellate ganglion, and producing the cooling zone to provide cryogenic therapy to the desired nerves of the stellate ganglion or the autonomic tissue area peripheral to the stellate ganglion at a temperature sufficient to cause axonotmesis of the nerves.
