Safety of cerebrospinal fluid drainage for spinal cord ischemia prevention in thoracic endovascular aortic repair.
Abstract
Spinal cord ischemia (SCI) after thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) is associated with permanent neurologic deficit and decreased survival. Prophylactic cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) drainage (CSFD) in TEVAR is controversial. We evaluated the usage of CSFD in TEVAR at our tertiary aortic center.
