Abstract
Vocal cord paralysis is a common complication in patients undergoing open surgery of the aortic arch and descending aorta, and is associated with significant morbidity. Further research may be warranted to determine if early fiberoptic examination and consideration of a vocal cord medialization procedure may mitigate the morbidity associated with VCP.
