Spinal cord ischemia

MONDO:0020688

Reduced blood flow to the spinal cord which is supplied by the anterior spinal artery and the paired posterior spinal arteries. This condition may be associated with arteriosclerosis, trauma, emboli, diseases of the aorta, and other disorders. Prolonged ischemia may lead to infarction of spinal cord tissue.

Also known as: cord Ischemias, spinal, cord ischemia, spinal, experimental spinal cord ischemia, ischaemic myelopathies, ischaemic myelopathy, ischemia, spinal cord, ischemias, spinal cord, ischemic myelopathies

New monitoring methods aim to prevent paralysis after aortic surgery

Knowledge-focused Completed

This study tests two new monitoring techniques—long loop reflexes (F-waves) and near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)—to detect spinal cord ischemia early after thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repair. Current methods work during surgery but are too painful for awake patients afterwa…
