Fig 3 Descending thoracic aortic aneurysms are classified as type A, left subclavian artery to T6 (A); type B, T6 to the diaphragm (B); or type C, left subclavian artery to the diaphragm (C). The Annals of Thoracic Surgery , DOI: ( /S (01) )

Fig 4 (A) Dynamics of aortic cross-clamp: cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure increases and distal aortic (DAo) pressure decreases. (B) Dynamics of aortic cross-clamp with adjuncts: CSF pressure decreases and DAo pressure increases, thus increasing perfusion pressure of the spinal cord.
