Abstract:
Therapeutic hypothermia (TH) has been regarded as a promising neuroprotective method for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) for decades. During the development of TH, most researchers focused on improving hypothermic benefits by optimizing treatment processes and conditions. Intravenous thrombolysis and endovascular thrombectomy, for instance, have been introduced into AIS treatment. However, the lack of specialized intervention consumables, especially intervention catheter, led to inaccurate and uncontrolled hypothermic temperature, limited the efficacy of TH. In this review, intervention catheters as well as accessory equipment utilized in TH treatment has been summarized. Hopefully, this review may inspire the future development of TH specialized intervention catheter, enhance the outcome of TH, and neuroprotective efficacy in AIS.
