Cement embolism during a kyphoplasty.
Figure 1: Postoperative lateral chest X-ray showing the excellent alignment following short fixation, a chest tube to drain a pleural effusion, the cement leakage (arrow) and the vertebral reinforcement material (asterisk). The mechanism of the embolism was probably a vascular entry of cement during high pressure inflation to get the compressed vertebral separated. Figure 2: CT image: we can ob...

متن کاملDetection of pulmonary cement embolism after balloon kyphoplasty : should conventional radiographs become routine?
Fatal pulmonary cement embolism is the worst complication after balloon kyphoplasty. Therefore the authors conducted a prospective study about the use of postoperative plain radiographs of the chest as a screening tool for the detection of pulmonary cement embolism. More specifically, they tried to determine its incidence. Postoperative AP and lateral plain radiographs of the chest confirmed th...
متن کاملPulmonary cement embolism during cement augmentation of pedicle screw fixation: a case report.
We present a case of pulmonary cement embolism during cement augmentation of pedicle screw fixation for severe degenerative scoliosis. During intra-operative C-arm fluoroscopy, a radio-opaque substance was incidentally noted to pulsate in synchrony with the patient's heartbeat. A diagnosis of pulmonary cement embolism was made. The patient was treated with coumarin for 6 months. He made a good ...

peptide and troponin I were normal (65.5 pg/mL and < 0.01 ng/mL, respectively). Doppler ultrasound of the lower extremities showed no deep vein thrombosis, and echocardiography showed left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (grade 1) with no right-sided abnormalities. Chest CT showed embolized polymethylmethacrylate cement in the azygos system and pulmonary arteries (Figures 1 and 2, respectivel...
