AbstractInterventional radiology plays an integral role in the management of massive and recurrent submassive hemoptysis. Risks of bronchial artery embolization (BAE) are well described and include spinal ischemia and paralysis, most often related to nontarget embolization of the artery of Adamkiewicz or other large radiculomedullary artery supplying the anterior spinal artery. There is increasing literature regarding spinal infarction following BAE when arterial supply to the spinal cord was not evident. The existence of unrecognized patient comorbidities may further contribute to procedural risks.

Bronchial artery embolization (BAE) has risen as one of the cornerstones of massive hemoptysis management. Though rare, spinal cord infarction is a potential complication. Here, we present a case of a 65 year old gentleman who presented with acute weakness and was diagnosed with spinal cord infarction following BAE. This case will also review the pathophysiology of this adverse complication.
