  1. The patients tended to be older in the SCI group than in the no-SCI group. The other preoperative data was not different between the two groups
  2. Continuous data were presented as mean and standard deviation and categorical variables as numbers and percentages. The actual data for the two patients with spinal cord ischemia were presented
  3. SCI spinal cord ischemia, BMI body mass index, eGFR estimated glomerular filtration rate, LLI lower limb ischemia, CPB cardiopulmonary bypass, AXC aortic cross clamp, SCP selective cerebral perfusion, CA circulatory arrest, FET frozen elephant trunk, Th, thoracic vertebrate, NA not assessed
