Preoperative Coil-Embolization of a Large, Myelon-Compressing Vertebral Metastasis Involving the Artery of Adamkiewicz

Metastatic spinal cord compression causes neurologic impairment and pain, potentially improved by decompression surgery at the risk of heavy intraoperative bleeding. Preoperative embolization carries the risk of nontarget embolization, potentially causing spinal ischemia. Current evidence indicates...

description Metastatic spinal cord compression causes neurologic impairment and pain, potentially improved by decompression surgery at the risk of heavy intraoperative bleeding. Preoperative embolization carries the risk of nontarget embolization, potentially causing spinal ischemia. Current evidence indicates that knowledge of artery of Adamkiewicz (AKA) location and the amount of collateralization may help estimate the risk of postinterventional spinal cord injury. In this case of a 73-year-old female patient with progression of a large, myelon-compressing vertebral metastasis of L1, protective, blood-flow-controlling occlusion of the proximal-most points of the AKA and segmental spinal arteries was safely performed prior to tumor embolization, surgical decompression, and tumor debulking.
