A intravascular heat transfer device (14) is provided with a mixing-inducing surface (26, 28) formed by an easily manufacturable process. The device can have a plurality of elongated, articulated segments (20, 22, 24), each having a mixing-inducing exterior surface. A flexible joint (25, 27) connects adjacent elongated, articulated segments. The device may be conveniently formed, e.g., by vapor deposition or molding, and further lacks undercuts so that the same max be conveniently removed from e.g., a two-part mold. |
