| Popis: |
Fenestrated-branched endovascular repair of thoracoabdominal aneurysms carries a risk of spinal cord ischemia owing to extensive coverage of intercostal arteries, but other consequences of decreased flow to the paraspinal muscles have not been delineated. We describe a 54-year-old woman treated by multibranched thoracoabdominal aneurysm repair who developed severe disabling exertional thoracic and lumbar back pain after the operation. Despite physical therapy, the patient remains with disabling symptoms at 2 years of follow-up. Transcutaneous oxygen pressures confirmed exercise-induced decrease in oxygen pressure, consistent with decreased muscle perfusion. We propose the term paraspinal muscle claudication to describe these symptoms. |
