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.

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.

Thirty-seven patients presenting with massive or recurrent haemoptysis secondary to tuberculous aetiology were subjected to bronchial artery angiography. Of these, failure to catheterize the bleeding vessel occurred in two patients while embolization was withheld in two patients due to the presence of anterior spinal artery arising from a common intercosto-bronchial trunk. Immediate arrest of bleeding was performed in the remaining 33 patients by selective embolization of the abnormal bronchial arteries with a resorbable material (Gelfoam). Regular follow up for a duration of 6 months after the procedure revealed relapse of haemoptysis in four patients; three were treated by re-embolization of the abnormal bleeding vessels while one patient died due to aspiration immediately on admission. No recurrence of bleeding was seen in the remaining 29 patients. It is concluded that bronchial artery embolization is an effective treatment for immediate control of life-threatening haemoptysis.
