Executive Summary
Surgeons understand the neuroprotective potential of therapeutic hypothermia in preventing neurological problems following thoracic aneurysm repair, stroke, traumatic spinal cord injury or traumatic brain injury, but whole-body systemic cooling devices often lead to a host of complications. CoolSpine LLC has developed catheter-based cooling devices that provide localized cooling to targeted organs, leaving the rest of the body at normal temperature.
