INTRODUCTION: Preoperative knowledge of the spinal cord (SC) vasculature could be
useful for stratifying and decreasing the risk of perioperative paraplegia after thoracic and …

OBJECTIVE: Preoperative knowledge of the blood-supplying trajectory to the spinal cord is
of interest, because spinal cord ischemia may occur during thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) …

BACKGROUND: Low incidences of spinal cord ischemia after thoracoabdominal aortic
aneurysm repair, despite sacrifice of all segmental arteries, have recently been reported …

OBJECTIVE: Preservation of spinal cord blood supply during descending thoracic (TAA) and
thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA) surgery is mandatory to prevent neurologic …

BACKGROUND: We evaluated correlation between anatomical pattern of the spinal cord
feeding artery, detected by preoperative multidetector row computed tomography, and the …

Despite the improved understanding of spinal cord anatomy and spinal cord ischemia
pathophysiology, the rate of debilitating postoperative paraparesis or paraplegia is still not …

OBJECTIVES Anterior radiculomedullary arteries (ARMAs) link dorsal segmental arteries
and the intraspinal compartment of the spinal collateral network. The number of thoracic …

Abstract Knowledge of the spinal cord (SC) vascular supply is important in patients
undergoing procedures that involve the thoracic and thoracoabdominal aorta. However, the …

Purpose: Spinal cord ischemia after operation on the abdominal aorta is a rare event that is
attributed to variations in the spinal cord blood supply. The purpose of this study was to …

OBJECTIVES: Spinal cord ischemia remains a devastating complication after thoracic aortic
surgery. The aim of this study was to investigate the pathophysiology of spinal cord ischemia …
