Abstract
Revascularization of the left subclavian artery (LSA) is considered a method of spinal cord protection from ischemia during thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR). Coverage of the artery of Adamkiewicz with TEVAR is usually well tolerated because of collateral pathways to this vessel, but on the other side, the LSA is crucial in this regard since it represents the primary source of collateral pathways. In our commentary, we wish to focus the discussion on the LSA revascularization and about the complexity of the anatomy of spinal cord supply in order to underline what have been already studied, analyzed, and recommended from the current guidelines. © Indian Association of Cardiovascular-Thoracic Surgeons 2022.Entities:
