Abstract
To evaluate the position of the aorta relative to the spine and the risk of aortic injury during correction surgery in patients with idiopathic severe and rigid scoliosis (main curve Cobb angle >90° and flexibility <30%).Twenty-seven patients with severe right thoracic/thoracolumbar scoliosis were recruited. The entry point-aorta distance (EAD), the left pedicle-aorta angle (α), the left aorta angle (β), and the vertebral rotation angle (γ) were...
