          Abstract

          Spinal cord ischemia (SCI) is a devastating complication following thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR). A man with a ruptured thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) was transferred to our hospital. Emergency TEVAR, with left subclavian artery (LSA) coverage, was performed for the ruptured TAA. On postoperative day two, the patient had incomplete paralysis in his legs, presumably caused by SCI. We performed LSA revascularization (LSAR) to provide blood supply to the spinal cord; his paralysis improved and almost resolved after surgery. To our knowledge, this is the first report on LSAR’s efficacy for delayed paraplegia due to SCI.

            Spinal cord perfusion and protection during descending thoracic and thoracoabdominal aortic surgery: the collateral network concept.

            R Griepp (2007)
            In the last two decades, as an increasing number of patients with descending thoracic and thoracoabdominal aneurysms are being diagnosed and treated, a more sophisticated understanding of spinal cord perfusion has become important in the attempt to minimize the frequency of spinal cord injury. The synthesis of information from laboratory studies and clinical experience has led to the collateral network concept, a framework for understanding spinal cord perfusion and thereby improving spinal cord protection during treatment of aneurysmal disease of the aorta distal to the left subclavian artery. Application of principles based on the collateral network concept has resulted in falling rates of spinal cord injury, which now approach 1% in descending thoracic aneurysm resection and less than 10% in extensive thoracoabdominal resections. These accomplishments suggest that, with further investigation, routine sacrifice of segmental aortic branches can be carried out in a way that will allow surgical and endovascular therapy of extensive distal aortic aneurysms without neurologic injury.

              Spinal cord injury after thoracic endovascular aortic aneurysm repair.

              Thoracic endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (TEVAR) has become a mainstay of therapy for aneurysms and other disorders of the thoracic aorta. The purpose of this narrative review article is to summarize the current literature on the risk factors for and pathophysiology of spinal cord injury (SCI) following TEVAR, and to discuss various intraoperative monitoring and treatment strategies.
