Abstract
Emergency EVAR continues to be a promising approach to reduce the high mortality of rAAA, but the incidence of spinal cord ischemia after endovascular treatment of rAAA was worrisome. Although the pathogenesis is most likely multifactorial, interruption of the hypogastric artery inflow appeared to have significant influence. In patients with aneurysmatic common iliac arteries, any effort should be made to minimize hypogastric occlusion time during the procedure and to maintain hypogastric artery inflow afterwards, either by the use of a bell-bottom iliac extension or by electing open repair.
