Summary

This study tested whether freezing certain nerves in the chest (cryoablation) can reduce pain and the need for strong painkillers after minimally invasive mitral valve surgery. Thirty adults took part, and researchers measured pain levels and opioid use. The goal was to gather early data for a larger trial.
