Abstract
Ischemic spinal cord injury is the major risk of bronchial artery embo lization. The spinal artery may be overlooked on initial intercostobro nchial trunk arteriography, as a result of reverse flow within the int ercostal branch. Its identification, conversely, is easier on postembo lization angiography. An illustrative case is presented, with angiogra phic correlation. The pathophysiology of the reverse flow is discussed . Technical recommendations are proposed for its detection.
