Abstract
Our study identified a common pattern among patients who present SCI after EVAR: difficult anatomy, prolonged operative time, additional procedures, and extensive intravascular handling that may have led to embolization. Patency of pelvic circulation preoperatively is also of importance. Regarding outcomes, only 25% of patients recovered, and in certain cases, CSF drainage may have significantly improved chances for recovery.
