===Class I Recommendations===
====Spinal cord protection during Descending aortic open surgical and endovascular repairs====
{{cquote|
1. Cerebrospinal fluid drainage is recommended as a spinal cord protective strategy in open and endovascular thoracic aortic repair for patients at high risk of spinal cord ischemic injury. (Level of Evidence: B)}}
===Class III Recommendations===
====Renal protection during Descending aortic open surgical and endovascular repairs====
{{cquote|
1. Furosemide, mannitol, or dopamine should not be given solely for the purpose of renal protection in descending aortic repairs. (Level of Evidence: B)}}
===Class IIa Recommendations===
====Brain protection during Ascending aortic and Transverse aortic arch surgery====
{{cquote|
1. Deep hypothermic circulatory arrest, selective antegrade brain perfusion, and retrograde brain perfusion are techniques that alone or in combination are reasonable to minimize brain injury during surgical repairs of the ascending aorta and transverse aortic arch. Institutional experience is an important factor in selecting these techniques. (Level of Evidence: B)}}
====Spinal cord protection during Descending aortic open surgical and endovascular repairs====
{{cquote|
1. Spinal cord perfusion pressure optimization using techniques, such as proximal aortic pressure maintenance and distal aortic perfusion, is reasonable as an integral part of the surgical, anesthetic, and perfusion strategy in open and endovascular thoracic aortic repair patients at high risk of spinal cord ischemic injury. Institutional experience is an important factor in selecting these techniques. (Level of Evidence: B)
2. Moderate systemic hypothermia is reasonable for protection of the spinal cord during open repairs of the descending thoracic aorta. (Level of Evidence: B)}}
===Class IIb Recommendations===
====Spinal cord protection during Descending aortic open surgical and endovascular repairs====
{{cquote|
1. Adjunctive techniques to increase the tolerance of the spinal cord to impaired perfusion may be considered during open and endovascular thoracic aortic repair for patients at high risk of spinal cord injury. These include distal perfusion, epidural irrigation with hypothermic solutions, high-dose systemic glucocorticoids, osmotic diuresis with mannitol, intrathecal papaverine, and cellular metabolic suppression with anesthetic agents. (Level of Evidence: B)
2. Neurophysiological monitoring of the spinal cord (somatosensory evoked potentials or motor evoked potentials) may be considered as a strategy to detect spinal cord ischemia and to guide reimplantation of intercostal arteries and/or hemodynamic optimization to prevent or treat spinal cord ischemia. (Level of Evidence: B)}}
====Renal protection during Descending aortic open surgical and endovascular repairs====
{{cquote|
1. Preoperative hydration and intraoperative mannitol administration may be reasonable strategies for preservation of renal function in open repairs of the descending aorta.(Level of Evidence: C)
2. During thoracoabdominal or descending aortic repairs with exposure of the renal arteries, renal protection by either cold crystalloid or blood perfusion may be considered. (Level of Evidence: B)}}
