Introduction: Postoperative neurological deficit is the most devastating complication after thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repair. Despite demonstrated neuroprotective effects of estradiol, its protective efficacy against spinal cord ischemia-reperfusion and underlying mechanisms are not yet elucidated. Methods: Two groups, each of 10 New Zealand white male rabbits, were studied. Control g...

one reported series, the 5-year survival rate for patients with spinal cord injury was 44%, whereas it was 62% for those without spinal cord injury.19 Postoperative spinal cord injury is caused by several factors including ischemia, reperfusion injury, and postoperative hemodynamics. Many methods of protecting the spinal cord during thoracoabdominal aneurysm repair have been devised. These incl...
متن کاملStaged approach for spinal cord protection in hybrid thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repair.
At present, there are three available options for surgical thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA) repair: conventional open surgery, total endovascular repair, and a hybrid approach, involving conventional surgical and endovascular techniques. Each modality has a different risk/benefit profile, requiring careful patient selection. Spinal cord injury (SCI) due to compromised blood supply follow...

The mortality and morbidity of extensive thoracoabdominal aorta replacement has improved markedly in recent years [1]. However, postoperative paraplegia from spinal cord infarction remains the most devastating complication that faces patients undergoing surgery on the thoracoabdominal aorta because loss of lowerlimb function imposes severe constraints on the quality of life. Additionally, parap...
متن کاملTear of joy or sorrow: endovascular stent grafting for thoracoabdominal aorta.
Surgery for thoracoabdominal aorta actually began before the era of cardiopulmonary bypass. In the mid-1950s, Ellis et al., Etheredge et al., and DeBakey et al. opened a field of surgery for throacoabdominal aorta using allograft. In 1965, DeBakey reported their results as 26% mortality in 42 patients with thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms who underwent the extra-anatomical reconstruction of th...
