Abstract
Elective TAA repair was accomplished with a low mortality in the DAP and clamp/sew cohorts. The use of MEP in the DAP cohort (despite a higher spinal cord ischemic risk due to the number of chronic dissection patients) decreased the need for intercostal reconstruction, with no paraplegia to date. DAP with MEP is the preferred operative strategy for extent I to III TAA repair.
