In bronchial artery embolization for treatment of massive lung bleeding, one of the most serious complications is to lose blood flow to the spinal cord caused by accidental closure of the artery of Adamkiewicz. [16] Its location can be identified with computed tomographic angiography. [17]
In human anatomy, the anterior spinal artery is the artery that supplies the anterior portion of the spinal cord. It arises from branches of the vertebral arteries and courses along the anterior aspect of the spinal cord. It is reinforced by several contributory arteries, especially the artery of Adamkiewicz.
During embryological development, about 75% of the segmental medullary arteries regress, forming the thinner (anterior and posterior) radicular arteries (which supply the two roots and sensory ganglion of each spinal nerve); the remaining segmental medullary arteries persist to contribute arterial supply to the spinal cord, as well as giving rise to the aforementioned radicular arteries.
Anterior spinal artery syndrome is the most common form of spinal cord infarction. [1] The anterior spinal cord is at increased risk for infarction because it is supplied by the single anterior spinal artery and has little collateral circulation , unlike the posterior spinal cord which is supplied by two posterior spinal arteries .

He is credited with describing the major anterior segmental medullary artery, which is also known as the Artery of Adamkiewicz. [2] In the early 1890s, Adamkiewicz published a series of articles claiming the discovery of a cancer-causing parasite he called Coccidium sarcolytus, as well as the existence of an anti-cancer serum. Further testing ...
