Abstract:
Therapeutic hypothermia has been shown to improve neurological outcomes after global ischaemia/hypoxia in patients who have had cardiac arrest. Therapeutic hypothermia is one of the most extensively studied and influential therapeutic strategies of acute ischemic stroke. Previous studies of therapeutic hypothermia mainly focused on whole-body cooling. However, delayed induction and systemic complications have limited the clinical application of whole-body cooling. As a selective cerebral hypothermia, the selective intra-arterial brain hypothermia treatment has the characteristics of rapid and even induction of hypothermia, and less affecting the core body temperature. Therefore, it has become a promising treatment modality. This article reviews the application of selective intra-arterial brain hypothermia in acute ischemic stroke and its advantages and limitations in order to provide reference for further experimental studies and future clinical trials.
