To date, no optimal pattern has been developed. The aim of this study was to identify the optimal MIS2ACE occlusion pattern.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>METHODS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Twenty-five juvenile pigs were randomly assigned to 3 MIS2ACE occlusion patterns (2 stages) and a control group [single-stage segmental artery (SA) occlusion, N\u2009=\u20097]. The first pattern started with occlusion of all lumbar segmental arteries in the first stage and the remaining thoracic arteries in the second stage (regional pattern, N\u2009=\u20096). In group 2, an alternating approach with occlusion of every other SA in the first stage and the remainder in the second stage was used (alternating pattern, N\u2009=\u20096). The third pattern started with occluding the watershed area between thoracic level 12 and lumbar level 2 in the first stage and the remaining arteries in the second stage (watershed pattern, N\u2009=\u20096). Neurological assessment at 6-h intervals and spinal cord tissue perfusion measurements via microspheres at 6 time points were performed. At the end of the experiments, the spinal cord was histopathologically examined.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>An average of 6\u2009\u00b1\u20092 coils were used per SA. In the control group a total of 57% (N\u2009=\u20094) of animals experienced permanent paraplegia, 1 animal (16%) of the alternating and watershed intervention group suffered from permanent paraplegia. Animals from the staged regional pattern did not experience permanent paraplegia. Furthermore, no evidence of significant tissue damage was observed (P\u2009&lt;\u20090.05 vs control). Tissue perfusion of the lumbar spinal cord in the regional pattern group recovered within 3\u2009days after the second stage to 89.2\u2009\u00b1\u200947 percent-of-baseline (P\u2009=\u20090.393), whereas mean perfusion of the other 2 intervention groups and the control remained significantly lower compared to the baseline (35.7\u2009\u00b1\u200916%, 30.2\u2009\u00b1\u200911% and 63.2\u2009\u00b1\u200919, P\u2009&lt;\u20090.05).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>This study provides evidence that MIS2ACE (minimally invasive staging) may result in less ischaemic spinal cord injury and favourable neurological outcomes compared to complete (1 stage) SA occlusion. A regional-based occlusion pattern (starting with the lumbar segmental arteries) seems to be the best 2-stage approach.<\/jats:p>\n
