Interventions
Intercostal Nerve Cryoablation
Patients will receive intraoperative intercostal nerve cryoablation using CryoICE® CRYOS-L cryoablation probes (AtriCure, Inc) to intercostal spaces 4th to 10th in thoracoabdominal aortic repairs and 4th to 8th in descending thoracic aortic repair cases prior to wound closure.
Patient-controlled analgesia (PCA)
Patients will have access to the standard PCA (patient-controlled analgesia) offered at Froedtert Hospital. This includes tylenol 650 mg oral, robaxin 500 mg oral, and tramadol 25-50 mg oral. All patients will have the first two ports placed at which time an intercostal nerve block of nerves 4-9 will be performed using 0.5% Marcaine with Epinephrine.
