Spinal cord ischemia
MONDO:0020688Reduced 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.

Ketamine may cut opioid use after major aortic surgery
Symptom relief CompletedThis study is testing whether a low dose of ketamine can reduce the amount of strong painkillers (opioids) needed and improve pain control in people recovering from thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR). About 30 adults scheduled for this surgery will receive either ketamin…

New monitoring methods aim to prevent paralysis after aortic surgery
Knowledge-focused CompletedThis 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…
