Measuring CMAPs in addition to MEPs can distinguish peripheral ischemia from spinal cord ischemia during endovascular aortic repair

Measuring CMAPs in addition to MEPs can distinguish peripheral ischemia from spinal cord ischemia during endovascular aortic repair

Objective: Spinal cord injury is a devastating complication after endovascular thoracic and thoracoabdominal aneurysm repair (EVAR). Motor evoked potentials (MEPs) can be monitored to detect spinal cord injury, but may also be affected by peripheral ischemia caused by femoral artery sheaths. We aime...
