Abstract

An organ can be cooled to minimize ischemic tissue damage from a vascular occlusion by a thrombus or dissection. A catheter including a thermal member can be used to introduce cold fluid downstream from an arterial occlusion to cool tissue affected by the occlusion. This is particularly useful to minimize neurologic damage from a thrombotic stroke.
