ABSTRACT:
A catheter system for controlling the body temperature of a patient by modifying the temperature of blood flowing within a blood vessel of the patient. The catheter system comprises a catheter body having a heat exchange region in contact with the blood; and a mechanism for moving the heat exchange surface, thereby increasing heat exchange between the heat exchange surface and blood flowing past the heat exchange surface. Various methods of moving the heat exchange surface are disclosed.
