Abstract
A non-invasive method and apparatus for at least partially occluding the descending aorta of a patient and for manipulating core and cerebral temperature includes positioning an elongated tubular member which may have a moveable surface through the esophagus and displacing the moveable surface thereby applying a force posteriorly in the direction of the patient's descending aorta sufficient to partially or substantially completely occlude the descending aorta. The tubular member may include a heat exchange surface and a heat transfer mechanism for transferring heat to the heat transfer surface or for transferring heat from the heat transfer surface in order to modify the temperature of a portion of the patient.
