Doctors Have Officially Frozen And Reanimated A Human Being For The First Time - The doctor in charge called it "a little surreal"...

From your link:
"The patient was then removed from the cooling system and taken to an operating theater for a two hour surgical procedure before having their blood restored and their body warmed back up to its normal temperature."

That sounds like a "standstill operation", which has been around for many years. See: [link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)]

Pam Reynolds and her famous NDE are an example of a "standstill operation". The big difference I can see here is that they extended the time of circulatory arrest from the usual 40 minutes to 120 minutes. They had to reduce the temperature more for that, I guess. They must have made improvements to the procedure. I'd be interested to see if any long-term damage was done to the patient...
