Coronary angiography and intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) may cause SCI [3] [4] [5] , as well as venoarterial-extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO). Seven weeks later, motor strength improved at the upper limbs, but because of lower limbs weakness persistence, a spinal cord MRI (Fig. 1a, b) was performed, 55 days after VA-ECMO withdrawal. Spinal cord MRI (Fig. 1c, d) was performed, which showed a longitudinally extensive anterior high T2-weighted signal extending from T9 to the conus medullaris, confirming SCI diagnosis. Patient was always awake without sedation ICU intensive care unit, VA-ECMO venoarterial-extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, SAPS simplified acute physiology score, SOFA sequential organ-failure assessment, SCI spinal cord infarction, IABP intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation, APTT activated partial thrombin time, NA not applicable, NK not known 	./cache/cord-025653-mkzw0nya.txt	./txt/cord-025653-mkzw0nya.txt
