Catheter devices and methods for intravascular heating and/or cooling of human or veterinary patients. The catheter devices generally comprise catheters having inflow (52) and outflow (54) lumens and at least one curvilinear balloon connected to the inflow (52) and outflow (54) lumens such that heat exchange fluid may be circulated through the balloon(s). The catheter is inserted into the vasculature and heated or cooled fluid is circulated through the balloon(s) to heat or cool blood flowing in heat-exchange proximity to the balloon(s), thereby effecting heating or cooling of all or a portion of the patient's body.

La présente invention concerne des dispositifs de cathéter et des procédés permettant de réchauffer et/ou de refroidir par le système intravasculaire des patients humains ou des animaux. Ces dispositifs comprennent généralement des cathéters possédant des lumières de flux d'entrée (52) et de flux de sortie (54) de façon que des fluides d'échange thermique puissent circuler à travers le ou les ballonnets. On introduit le cathéter dans un vaisseau et on fait circuler un fluide chauffé ou refroidi à travers le ou les ballonnets de façon à chauffer ou refroidir par échange thermique le sang qui s'écoule près de ce ou de ces ballonnets, ce qui permet de chauffer ou de refroidir l'anatomie complète du patient ou une partie de celle-ci.
