Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) is a therapeutic, interventional radiological procedure involving bone cement injection into a vertebral body. Although PVP is considered a minimally invasive procedure, cement leakage into the perivertebral venous system can occur with its migration towards the right heart and the pulmonary circulation. We report a case of accidental finding of asymptomatic cardiac and pulmonary embolism caused by cement leakage after PVP. |
