Preoperative spinal angiography decreases risk of spinal ischemia in pediatric posterior thoracic tumor resection
Purpose Resection of pediatric posterior thoracic tumors (PTTs) can be complicated by Artery of Adamkiewicz (AKA) injury. Post-op spinal ischemia occurs in approx. 3.2% of patients, typically due to iatrogenic vascular injury. Pre-op angiography (PSA) may help to avoid this complication. Herein, we...

Zusammenfassung: | Purpose
Resection of pediatric posterior thoracic tumors (PTTs) can be complicated by Artery of Adamkiewicz (AKA) injury. Post-op spinal ischemia occurs in approx. 3.2% of patients, typically due to iatrogenic vascular injury. Pre-op angiography (PSA) may help to avoid this complication. Herein, we aim to evaluate outcomes after initiation of routine PSA prior to PTT resection.
