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 کاملPulmonary Cement Embolism following Percutaneous Vertebroplasty
Percutaneous vertebroplasty is a minimal invasive procedure that is applied for the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral fractures. During vertebroplasty, the leakage of bone cement outside the vertebral body leads to pulmonary cement embolism, which is a serious complication of this procedure. Here we report a 48-year-old man who was admitted to our hospital with dyspnea after percutaneous vert...

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...
متن کاملRight ventricular perforation and pulmonary embolism with polymethylmethacrylate cement after percutaneous kyphoplasty.
A 58-year--old woman was referred to our center for further workup and treatment of a probable polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) embolism to the right ventricle (RV) and right pulmonary artery. The patient’s medical history included hypertension, hypothyroidism, hyperlipidemia, and anxiety. She developed lower back pain ≈1 month before admission and was diagnosed with multiple compression fractures...
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...
