We report 2 rare cases of tetraplegia after total aortic arch replacement with frozen elephant trunk that were attributable to cervical spinal stenosis. Cervical spinal stenosis can increase the vulnerability of the spinal cord to ischemia and may increase the risk of spinal cord injury in operation with circulatory arrest.
我们报告了2例罕见的在采用带冻结象鼻技术行全主动脉弓置换术后发生四肢瘫痪的病例,其病因是颈椎管狭窄。颈椎管狭窄会增加脊髓对缺血的易损性,并且可能会增加在循环停止手术中脊髓损伤的风险。
