Abstract

We developed a method of regional spinal cord cooling by using an epidural catheter containing cold saline in its isolated counter-current lumen. We describe the clinical application of this innovative procedure to the prevention of paraplegia during surgery for thoracic and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms.
