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 …

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

✓ Occlusion of the abdominal aorta of the rabbit by inflating the balloon of a Swan-Ganz
catheter positioned in the aorta is a simple and reliable method of producing spinal cord …

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 …

Spinal cord damage caused by ischemia is a serious, underappreciated, and relatively
refractory problem in clinical practice. Research is hampered by a lack of experimental …

We studied a highly reproducible spinal cord model of focal central nervous system
ischemia produced by occlusion of the abdominal aorta in the rabbit just below the renal …

Delayed deterioration of neurological function after central nervous system ischemia is a
well-documented clinical problem. The purpose of our study was to elucidate the role of …

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 …

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 …

OBJECTIVE: The goal was to study the hemodynamics and regional pathophysiological
changes in the spinal cord after transient vascular occlusion in cats. METHODS: We …
