Objective: In patients with thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAAs), the blood supply to
the spinal cord is highly variable and unpredictable because of obstructed intercostal and …

BACKGROUND: Monitoring motor-evoked potentials (MEPs) is an accurate technique to
assess spinal cord integrity during thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA) repair …

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: In thoracic stent graft repair, the importance of segmental artery (SA)
occlusion and the role of blood pressure management during the intraoperative and directly …

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

BACKGROUND: The impact of different strategies for management of intercostal and lumbar
arteries during repair of thoracic and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (TAA/A) on the …

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the results of spinal cord protection based
on selective reconstruction of the segmental arteries. Methods: Twenty-one patients who …

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to assess the complementary use of different
methods of measuring spinal cord perfusion during thoracoabdominal aortic surgery …

OBJECTIVE: To describe a novel technique for maximal reimplantation of intercostal arteries
during thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repair. METHODS: Eight patients underwent …

OBJECTIVE: Paraplegia after thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA) repair mainly
occurs in patients with Crawford extent I and II. We assessed the impact of monitoring spinal …
