NCT ID NCT07541612

First seen Apr 30, 2026 · Last updated May 08, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study tests a new way to monitor blood flow to the spinal cord during major aortic surgery using a non-invasive light sensor placed on the back. The goal is to see if this sensor can quickly detect when the spinal cord isn't getting enough blood, which could help doctors prevent paralysis. About 120 adults having planned aortic surgery will take part. This is an observational study, meaning it only watches and records data without changing treatment.
