ResumoThe perioperative drainage of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a well-established technique for the protection of the spinal-cord during the open surgery of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (TAA). LiquoGuard is a new device of controlled and continuous drainage conceived to guarantee a pressure of the CSF around the values desired and avoid useless drainages. The aim of our study was to establish if the use of LiquoGuard during open surgery for TAA is effective to maintain the desired pressure of CSF to reduce the incidence of the complications compared to the standard catheters of drainage.
