A medical device has a structure deployable from its distal end to cool a target tissue region inside the body, such as tissue within a chamber of the heart. Also, a method of cooling a target tissue region inside a body includes introducing a distal portion of a catheter having a deployable structure at a distal end into the body. The method also includes positioning the distal catheter portion near a target tissue region, deploying the deployable structure, and placing the deployed structure in contact with the target tissue region to cool the target tissue region.

L'invention concerne un dispositif médical qui a une structure déployable à partir de son extrémité distale pour refroidir une zone tissulaire cible dans un corps, par exemple un tissu à l'intérieur d'une cavité cardiaque. En outre, un procédé permettant de refroidir une zone tissulaire cible à l'intérieur d'un corps consiste à introduire une partie distale d'un cathéter ayant une structure déployable au niveau d'une extrémité distale à l'intérieur du corps. Le procédé consiste également à installer la partie cathéter distale à proximité d'une zone tissulaire cible, à déployer la structure déployable, et à mettre la structure ainsi déployée en contact avec la zone tissulaire cible pour refroidir ladite zone.
