Abstract
Percutaneous vertebroplasty with the use of bone cement is a widely performed minimally invasive orthopedic procedure for treating osteolytic vertebral metastases and osteoporotic vertebral fractures. One of the main complications associated with percutaneous bone cement injection is cement leakage, either into the paravertebral tissue or, less frequently, into the perivertebral venous plexus, which may result in embolization into the right heart or pulmonary vasculature. In this report, we present a case of intracardiac bone cement embolism after percutaneous vertebroplasty.
