Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
A simple technique termed "clamp test and spinal cord-plegia" for descending thoracic aortic aneurysm surgery is described. The clamp test is a passive method of creating ischemic conditions, whereas spinal cord-plegia is an active method of decreasing metabolism. This technique is a practical test that double-checks for critical feeding arteries and seems to have an excellent spinal cord-preserving effect. |
