Methods of protecting the spinal cord and internal organs during operations on the thoracic and thoracoabdominal aorta
An urgency of the problem of protecting of the spinal cord and visceral organs in surgery of aneurysms of the thoracic and thoracoabdominal parts of aorta is caused high levels of mortality and a significant rate of complications, especially in emergency operations apropos to the disruptions and dissections. Now the main aspects of the prevention of spinal and renal disorders are: drainage of cerebrospinal fluid, an adequate perfusion of the distal aorta, hypothermia (including hypothermal arrest of the blood circulation), pharmacological protection. Modern methods of the intraoperation protection used in combination can reduce the incidence of complications and improve the results of the treatment.
