Description
James Kelly and co-authors review, in a 2026 paper, spinal cord injury that can follow repair of a swollen aorta in the chest and belly. Loss of blood flow to the cord is one of the most feared results of this surgery, and doctors still lack a blood test that warns of it early.
The review explains how cord pressure falls during surgery and how later chemical stress and swelling extend the damage. It then borrows lessons from stroke and from traumatic cord injury, two better-studied fields, to list candidate warning markers in blood and spinal fluid. Proteins tied to nerve damage and water channels in the cord stand out as leads.
