Paraplegia following insertion of an intra-aortic balloon is an extremely rare and unusual complication with only one previous report in the literature. We recently encountered this problem in a man with severe coronary disease and unstable angina. The etiology of this complication, although never established in our patient, was most likely a critical occlusion of a spinal cord artery as a result of either a small dissection or an arterial embolus.
主动脉内球囊置入后发生截瘫是一种极其罕见的并发症，文献中仅有一篇既往报道。我们最近在一名患有严重冠心病和不稳定型心绞痛的男性患者中遇到了这个问题。尽管在我们的患者中尚未明确该并发症的病因，但最有可能是由于小的夹层或动脉栓塞导致脊髓动脉严重闭塞所致。
