Both endovascular repair (EVR) and open repair (OR) surgery of thoraco-abdominal aortic aneurysms cause spinal cord (SC) injury that can lead to paraparesis or paraplegia. It has been assumed that ...

To investigate the influence of lumbar arteries ligation on spinal cord blood flow (SCBF), and to determine by what proportion the SCBF decrease would cause spinal cord ischemia (SCI) in rabbit model.

Lower body paralysis is a devastating complication that can occur in patients who undergo surgery to repair the aorta, the largest artery in the body. Post-surgical paraplegia is caused by reduced ...

A team of researchers at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and College of Medicine have developed the first mouse model capable of reproducing the ischemic spinal cord injury ("ISCI") ...

A recent study revealed that endovascular repair of complex aortic aneurysms using fenestrated and branched endografts provides a safe and effective alternative to open surgical repair, with the ...

The aorta carries oxygenated blood from the left ventricle of the heart to the rest of the body. It is the largest artery in the body, measuring more than 1 inch across in some places. Any blockage or ...

Severe aortic stenosis is the final stage of aortic stenosis, which is the narrowing of the aortic valve. In severe aortic stenosis, symptoms can impair quality of life. Stenosis refers to a narrowing ...

Aortic stenosis is a narrowing of the aortic valve that produces a high-pitched “whooshing” murmur, which is often the first noticeable sign of the condition. Murmurs are graded from 1 to 6 based on ...

Your aortic valve is part of your heart, a strong muscle that pumps blood through your body. The aortic valve controls the blood flowing out from the heart. It opens every time your heart contracts, ...

BOSTON – Lower body paralysis is a devastating complication that can occur in patients who undergo surgery to repair the aorta, the largest artery in the body. Post-surgical paraplegia is caused by ...
