1 The risk of ischemic spinal cord injury in patients undergoing graft replacement for thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms  Klaus Grabitz, MD, Wilhelm Sandmann, MD, Klaus Stühmeier, MD, Bernd Mainzer, MD, E. Godehardt, PhD, MD, Barbara Ohle, TA, Ursula Hartwich, RN  Journal of Vascular Surgery  Volume 23, Issue 2, Pages (February 1996) DOI: /S (96) Copyright © 1996 Society for Vascular Surgery and International Society for Cardiovascular Surgery, North American Chapter Terms and Conditions

2 Fig. 1 Three groups of patients at low, moderate, and high risk of developing neurologic deficit. Patients without loss of sSSEP did not develop neurologic deficit, whereas those with disappearance of sSSEPs were at highest risk.

3 Fig. 2 Three groups of patients at low, moderate, and high risk of developing neurologic deficit. Patients who had total loss of sSSEP for <40 minutes did not have paraplegia and only 1 of 57 patients had paraparesis, whereas patients with very late or no return of sSSEPs had a >50% chance of neurologic deficit.
