| Popis: | Frozen elephant trunk repair is a technique described to simplify total arch repair for Stanford type A aortic dissection. Spinal cord ischemia is a devastating complication after frozen elephant trunk repair. In this report, we describe a case of spinal cord ischemia resulting in paralysis after frozen elephant trunk repair. Our spinal cord ischemia protocol was implemented and rescued patients from paraplegia. We report a dedicated spinal cord ischemia protocol that can rescue patients from paraplegia after hybrid arch repair with frozen elephant trunk. |
