Aortic aneurysm, aortic dissection, aortic injury, etc.
Conditions
Interventions
In addition to transcranial motor evoked potentials, transesophageal motor evoked potentials are monitored during aortic surgery using an equipment for neurophysiological measurements.

All
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Patients undergoing elective aortic surgery with a risk of spinal cord ischemic injury who are to be monitored for transcranial motor evoked potentials in the ordinary course of medical treatment (aortic surgery mainly in the descending or thoracoabdominal aorta for aortic aneurysms, aortic dissection, aortic injury, etc.)
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Patients undergoing emergent or urgent aortic surgery (within 24 hours of admission) Patients with abnormalities of the esophagus (tumors, varices, post-esophageal surgery, whigh degree compression deviation causing obstruction) Patients who are judged inappropriate by the principal investigator (or sub-investigator).
