Abstract
Intraoperative SSEP monitoring was reliable in ruling out spinal injury in descending thoracic and thoracoabdominal aortic repair, but had a low sensitivity. It did not predict delayed neurologic deficit. Spinal SSEP change was an independent predictor of mortality and correlated with low preoperative glomerular filtration rate.
