Case Report (n=1)
This case report highlights the management and nursing care of monoparesis, a serious complication following thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm surgery.
Hypothesis-generating for nursing care of monoparesis after TAAA repair; prospective studies required before broader adoption.
Paresis/paraplegia is a serious complication that develops after open repair of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA) and has high morbidity/mortality rates. To deal with paresis/paraplegia Cerebro Spinal Fluid drainage is recommended. Various approaches exist in this regard, such as the “clamp and fix” technique, the use of distal perfusion via partial (left heart) or total cardiopulmonary bypass. These approaches can reduce the complications of paresis/paraplegia by preventing spinal cord ischemic injury. In this study, we aimed to present a monoparesis management case diagnosed after TAAAA surgery.
