Recurrent spinal cord ischemia after endovascular stent grafting for chronic traumatic aneurysm of the aortic isthmus.
نویسندگان
چکیده
This report describes the development of recurrent spinal cord ischemia in a patient after insertion of a stent graft into the upper segment of the descending thoracic aorta for the treatment of a chronic traumatic aneurysm of the aortic isthmus. Intraoperatively, the stent covered the ostium of the left T7 artery, which was shown to give rise to a middle dorsal artery by postoperative spinal cord arteriography.

AORTIC TRANSECTION AND ITS SURGICAL REPAIR: A CASE REPORT FROM IRAN
Aortic transection is a rare but life-threatening complication of blunt chest trauma. Treatment options include open repair, medical management and most recently, endovascular repair. We report a 33 years old male with a traumatic aortic transection following a car accident. Aortic injury and its pseudo-aneurysm were confirmed by Chest CT scan and TEE in the descending thoracic aorta just belo...

BACKGROUND We report a case of delayed endovascular correction of graft collapse occurred after emergent Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair (TEVAR) for traumatic aortic isthmus rupture. CASE PRESENTATION In 7th post-operative day after emergent TEVAR for traumatic aortic isthmus rupture (Gore TAG® 28-150), a partial collapse of the endoprosthesis at the descending tract occurred, with no sig...
متن کاملSuccessful reversal of recurrent spinal cord ischemia following endovascular repair of a descending thoracic aortic aneurysm
Despite recent advances in technique, spinal cord ischemia remains one of the most dreaded complications of thoracic aortic surgery. Recently, it has been suggested that thoracic endovascular aortic repair may decrease the risk of paraplegia. We present a case of delayed paraplegia following thoracic endovascular aortic repair that was successfully reversed on 3 separate occasions in the same p...
متن کاملSpinal cord ischemia after elective stent-graft repair of the thoracic aorta.
OBJECTIVES Neurologic deficit after endovascular treatment of the thoracic aorta is a complication reported with variable frequency that may be associated with severe morbidity and mortality. The mechanism of spinal cord ischemia appears to be multifactorial and remains ill-defined. We reviewed our experience to investigate the determinants of paraplegia after stent-graft repair of the thoracic...
متن کاملEndovascular Repair of a Rapidly Enlarging Giant Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm
Introduction: Aneurysms of the descending thoracic aorta are potemtially life threatening situations. Treatment entails either conventional surgical treatment by means of a left lateral thoracotomy or the minimally invasive endovascular treatment. Surgery is indicated when the size of the descending aorta is over 5.5 cm, or there is rapid expansion of the aneurysm. Maximum size of the aorta in ...
