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.

His initial high sensitivity troponin I returned at 1300 ng/L and given that his cardiac workup was otherwise unremarkable, a CT was obtained to evaluate for pulmonary embolism and aortic aneurysm or dissection but this too was unrevealing. Another EKG was also obtained. ECG at time 82 minutes: What do you think?

The first troponin returned at 0.099 ng/mL (elevated, consistent with Non-Occlusion MI) Providers were concerned with aortic dissection, so they order a chest aorta CT. Once dissecting aneurysm was ruled out by chest aorta CT — the possibility of acute ischemic heart disease becomes paramount. It is essentially normal.
