Elective Fenestrated and Branched Endovascular Thoraco-abdominal Aortic Repair with Supracoeliac Sealing Zones and without Prophylactic Cerebrospinal Fluid Drainage: Early and Medium-term Outcomes.

Selective staging without prophylactic CSF drainage contributed to a significant reduction in the incidence of SCI. PMID: 31005508 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
