U.S., Oct. 28 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07896564) titled 'Risk Factors for Spinal Cord Injury After Minimally Invasive Aortic Repair' on Oct. 13.
Brief Summary: This study aims to identify factors linked to spinal cord injury after aortic repair. The aorta is the body's main artery. The repairs studied use a fabric-covered tube, called a stent graft, placed inside the aorta. Sometimes, blood flow to the spinal cord is reduced after these procedures. This is called spinal cord ischemia and can cause leg weakness or loss of feeling.
Researchers will review existing medical records and scans from adults aged 18 or older. They will compare patients who developed spinal cord ischemia with thos...
