Methods and apparatus are provided for thermally affecting tissue via either a closed or open device. In each of the closed device embodiments, thermally transmissive fluid is circulated and distributed through into a device, an outer surface of which is in direct thermal contact with a region of tissue to thermally affect the tissue. In each of the open device embodiments, thermally transmissive fluid is circulated through a device and systematically deployed directly onto a region of tissue to irrigate, and, therefore, thermally affect the tissue.

L'invention concerne des procédés et appareils permettant de réaliser une affection thermique de tissu, au moyen d'un dispositif fermé ou ouvert. Selon chaque mode de réalisation présentant un dispositif fermé, on fait circuler et on répartit un fluide thermiquement conducteur dans un dispositif, dont la surface externe est en contact thermique direct avec une zone de tissu afin d'affecter thermiquement le tissu. Selon chaque mode de réalisation présentant un dispositif ouvert, on fait circuler un fluide conduisant la chaleur dans un dispositif. Ce fluide est systématiquement appliqué dans une région de tissu afin de l'irriguer et en conséquence d'affecter thermiquement le tissu.
