Abstract
In 2005, the findings of the multicenter Gore Tag study led to United States Food and Drug Administration approval for endovascular repair of thoracic aortic aneurysms (TEVAR). TEVAR provides a therapeutic option for patients who have thoracic aortic aneurysm and for the treatment of type B aortic dissection with malperfusion. Spinal cord ischemia and stroke are recognized neurologic complications of TEVAR. Identification of high-risk patients combined with targeted anesthetic and perioperative management may decrease the risk of neurologic complications after TEVAR.
