Infant and Child European Cryoablation Project ICECaP

This registry is collecting data on children who undergo cryoablation — a minimally invasive procedure that uses extreme freezing to destroy abnormal tissue in bone or soft tissue — across hospitals in the UK and Europe. The goal is to document how often the procedure works, how safe it is, and what types of conditions it is being used for in children, since evidence in pediatric populations is currently limited. Any child for whom a clinical decision has been made to treat with percutaneous cryoablation may be included, with no specific exclusion criteria beyond this. Participation involves having treatment data and outcomes recorded and shared anonymously with other centers for analysis. This summary was prepared to help patients understand the study in plain language.
