“…Although elements of tissue destruction are achieved with both freeze and thaw processes, continued investigation is needed to determine the optimum cycle of therapy (number of freezes, length of freeze, type of thaw). Some studies showed no difference in renal tissue ablation when comparing active and passive thawing [19,20]. Many investigators advocate repeating the freeze‐thaw cycle to ensure adequate cell death in renal tissue [18,21,22].…”
