Abstract
Disclosed is an apparatus and method for preventing secondary ischemic injury in the brain. The apparatus includes an interstitial brain probe and an introducer sheath, which are placed into an ischemic region of the brain by stereotaxic surgical technique. The interstitial brain probe and introducer sheath provide for thermal coagulation to provide hemostasis, aspiration of blood clots, infusion of therapeutic agents, and localized hypothermia within an ischemic region of the brain. The interstitial brain probe cools an ischemic region of the brain from within the ischemic region, and cooling is substantially limited to the ischemic region. Cooling is provided for a period of time greater than one hour.
