In the past, paraplegia caused by spinal cord ischemia due to erroneous<unk>  of the anterior spinal<unk>  was well known as a rare, but serious complication. Super selective<unk>  using microcatheter reduced the incidence of the spinal ischemia. However, according to Ishikawa et al., spinal cord infarction still occurs, with an incidence of 0.19% (16/8563). They also compared it between three embolic agents (GS, NBCA, Coil) and demonstrated that the incidence of spinal cord infarction was significantly lower in coils: 0.06% (1/1577) compared with GS 0.18% (12/6561) and NBCA 0.71% (3/425) (p=0,04). Major complications reported by Ishikawa et al. are presented below. Mediastinal hematoma occurs by injury of hemoptysis-related vessel, mainly by wire, and can easily bail out by proximal coil<unk> . +BAE complications (out of 489 cases) Complications Cases Incidence Mediastinal hematoma 5 1.0% Symptomatic cerebellar infarction 2 0.4% Aortic dissection 1 0.2% Symptomatic Cerebral infarction 0 0% Spinal ischemia 0 0% Death 0 0%
