Paraplegia secondary to spinal cord ischaemia > Following Elective Stent-graft Repair of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm AAA > Devastating complication of Endovascular Repair for AAA > Reversal with Cerebrospinal Fluid Drainage

Tuesday, January 20, 2009

Are endovascular techniques prone to similar complications as open aneurysm surgery? Is Paraplegia secondary to spinal cord ischemia a complication of stent-graft repair for abdominal aortic aneurysm? Can the immediate insertion of a cerebrospinal fluid CSF drain result in full neurological recovery?
