2 Fig 1 Comparison between group I and group II patients with respect to spinal cord injury after aneurysm resection. With intercostal artery reimplantation, the more recent cohort of patients had a lower overall incidence of spinal cord injury (9/91 [9.9%] in group I vs 1/41 [2.4%] in group II; P = .17; 95% CI for the difference of proportions, –0.0029, ) and a significantly lower rate of paraplegia (8/91 [8.8%] in group I vs 0/41 [0%] in group II; P = .05; 95% CI for the difference of proportions, (0.0297, ). The incidence of paraparesis was not different between the groups. The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery  , 17-24DOI: ( /S (99) ) Copyright © 1999 Mosby, Inc. Terms and Conditions
