Background and Purpose Spinal cord ischemic injury (SCII) with resulting paralysis is a
major cause of morbidity after operations on the thoracic aorta. Since the vascular supply to …

Background and Purpose—Spinal cord ischemia with resulting paraplegia is a devastating
complication of thoracoabdominal aortic surgery. Experimental models of spinal cord …

Use of genetically manipulated mice facilitates understanding pathological mechanisms in
many diseases and contributes to therapy development. However, there is no practical and …

BACKGROUND: Paraplegia remains a significant complication of thoracoabdominal aortic
surgery. The study of this spinal cord ischemia and reperfusion injury (SCIR) has been …

The efficacy of combined methods of spinal cord protection during thoracoabdominal aortic
reconstruction was evaluated because a recent clinical study failed to substantiate the value …

Thoracoabdominal aortic replacement, necessary in case of injuries, aneurysms and
dissections, shows a high complication rate as a consequence of the perioperative …

Occlusion of the thoracic aorta and both subclavian arteries (XC) in the rat model produces
spastic paraplegia. In order to characterize the lesion of white matter, 14 male Sprague …

Background and Purpose Cross-clamping of the thoracic aorta results in spinal cord
ischemia and prominent systemic hypertension. Using a rat model of transient spinal cord …

To characterize the behavioral and histopathological changes that occur in spinal cord after
transient ischemia, reversible occlusion of the descending aorta was achieved in the …

Objective: Paraplegia from spinal cord ischemia is a devastating complication of
thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repair. Perioperative hypoperfusion of the spinal cord is …
