Abstract

We present an interesting case of a patient with spinal cord ischemia presented with physical and angiographic findings of acute right leg ischemia 6 days after abdominal aortic aneurysm open repair. After unsuccessful transpopliteal thrombectomy, patient was treated with spinal cord drainage. Cause of this complication might be ischemic lumbal plexopathy. © 2014 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
