Objective: Understanding the ability of the paraspinal anastomotic network to provide adequate spinal cord perfusion pressure (SCPP) critical for both surgical and endovascular repair of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAA). Methods: To monitor pressure in the collateral circulation, a catheter was inserted into the distal end of the divided first lumbar segmental artery (SA) of 10 juvenile Yorkshire pigs (28.9 +/- 3.8 kg). SA pairs from T3 through L5 were serially sacrificed at 32 degrees C; SCPP and function - using motor-evoked potentials (MEPs) - were continuously monitored until 1 h after clamping the last SA. Intermittent aortic and SCPP monitoring was continued for 5 days postoperatively, along with evaluation of motor function. Results: A mean of 14.4 +/- 0.7 SAs were sacrificed without toss of MER SCPP (mmHg) dropped from 68 +/- 7 before SA clamping (77% of aortic pressure) to 22 6 at end clamping, and 21 4 after 1 h, reaching its lowest point 19 +/- 4 - after 5 h. Postoperatively, SCPP recovered to 33 +/- 6 at 24 h; 42 +/- 10 at 48 h; 56 +/- 14 at 72 h; 62 +/- 15 at 96 h, returning to baseline (63 +/- 20) at 120 h. Despite comparable SCPP patterns, four pigs did not fully regain the ability to stand. Six animals recovered: two could stand and four could walk. Conclusions: Interruption of all SAs at 32 degrees C in this pig model results in a spectrum of cord injury, with normal function in a majority of pigs postoperatively. The short duration of tow SCPP suggests that hemodynamic manipulation tasting only 24-48 h may allow routine complete preservation of normal cord function despite sacrifice of all SAs.
