Abstract
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of severe spinal cord ischemia after transcatheter embolization of the feeding iliolumbar branches of a type II endoleak. Care must be taken during embolization of the feeding artery of type II endoleaks, which may also supply the spinal cord, to minimize the risk of possible spinal cord ischemia.
