Revisiting Spinal Cord Infarction after Bronchial Artery Embolization.

It is unusual to write a letter to the editor of the Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology about an article published in a different journal. Unfortunately, this important article has gone relatively unnoticed in the interventional radiology community. The author's hope is that this letter draws attention to this rare, severe complication related to BAE. Superselective coil embolization for BAE should be revisited and studied to demonstrate its true effectiveness and complication rate. Ultimately, patients and their physicians must decide whether they want to incur a higher risk of paraplegia versus a potentially higher risk of recurrence and death.
