Abstract:Spinal cord ischemia due to decreased cord perfusion is a devastating
complication in patients with thoracoabdominal dissection following frozen
elephant trunk (FET) repair surgery. However, rare occurrence of spinal cord
ischemia leading to paraplegia after long-term follow-up of FET repair has been
reported. Here, we describe a case of spinal cord ischemia resulting in
paraplegia nine years after hybrid total arch repair with FET. Cerebrospinal
fluid drainage and serial treatment were utilized to decrease in… Show more
