Anatomy of the aortic segmental arteries—the fundamentals of preventing spinal cord ischemia in aortic aneurysm repair

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

ObjectiveSpinal cord ischemia due to damage or occlusion of the orifices of aortic segmental arteries (ASA) is a serious complication of open and endovascular aortic repair. Furthermore, it aids in planning and conducting safe aortic intervention and assists in deciding on single- or two-staged stent graft procedures.
