Predictors and Outcomes of Spinal Cord Injury following Complex Branched/Fenestrated Endovascular Aortic Repair in the US Aortic Research Consortium.

The overall rates of any SCI at 7.1% and permanent deficit at 4.1% observed in this study compare favorably to those reported in contemporary literature. Our findings confirm that increased length of aortic disease is associated with SCI and those with Crawford Extent I-III TAAAs are at highest risk. The long-term impact on patient mortality underscores the importance of preventive measures and rapid implementation of rescue protocols if and when deficits develop.
