Electrophysiologic monitoring during surgery to repair the thoracoabdominal aorta

Seminars in Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia
Tod B Sloan

Abstract

The repair of aneurysms and dissections that involve the thoracoabdominal aorta represent a major stress to the cardiovascular surgery team because of the feared complication of paraplegia. Here, the etiology of this complication is explained through a description of the relevant surgical anatomy and characteristics of hemodynamic support. In addition, recent advances in the neurophysiologic assessment of the descending motor pathways and their application to perioperative monitoring are discussed.

Aortic Aneurysm

An aortic aneurysm is the weakening and bulging of the blood vessel wall in the aorta. This causes dilatation of the aorta, which is usually asymptomatic but carries the risk of rupture and hemorrhage. Find the latest research on aortic aneurysms here.

Cardiac Aneurysm

Aneurysm refers to a bulge of the wall or lining of a vessel commonly occurring in the blood vessels at the base of the septum or within the aorta. In the heart, it usually arises from a patch of weakened tissue in a ventricular wall, which swells into a bubble filled with blood. Discover the latest research on cardiac aneurysm here.

Barrel cortex

Here is the latest research on barrel cortex, a region of somatosensory and motor corticies in the brain, which are used by animals that rely on whiskers for world exploration.

Aneurysm

Aneurysms are outward distensions or bulges that occurs in a weakened wall of blood vessels. Discover the latest research on aneurysms here.
