I wish you the best of luck Attalus. It´s a very tricky procedure. I´m not sure how you treat this in the US. I´m guessing distal aortic perfusion with an extracorporeal pump? I´m sure there will be no problems, at least I hope so. Spinal cord ischemia is always something to fear. Again, good luck! [img]smile.gif[/img]
