Percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) is a surgical procedure that involves injecting polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) bone cement into the diseased vertebrae to rapidly relieve pain and strengthen the vertebrae. We reported a 73-year-old patient who underwent percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) surgery for thoracolumbar vertebral compression fracture. After the surgery, the patient experienced symptoms such as chest tightness and dyspnea.

Background: Kyphoplasty-associated cement extravasation into surrounding tissue and vasculature can lead to life-threatening complications. We present a rare case of significant inferior vena cava cement burden that resulted in pulmonary embolism.
Case Presentation: A 74-year-old Caucasian woman with a history of severe osteoporosis, recurrent falls, and spinal compression fracture status post-kyphoplasty of the L4-L5 vertebrae, presents to the emergency department 2 days post-vertebral kyphoplasty due to chest pain, back pain, and dyspnea.

Case Summary: A 61-year-old woman with rheumatoid arthritis and degenerative lumbar disc disease underwent open posterior instrumented fusion with bilateral open L2 vertebroplasty elsewhere.
Life-threatening intracardiac cement embolisms after percutaneous kyphoplasty: a case report and literature review.
J Int Med Res

Department of Orthopedics, Affiliated Hangzhou First People's Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine.
Background: Percutaneous kyphoplasty is a popular technique in the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral fractures, but intracardiac cement embolism can be a life-threatening complication. The authors present a case involving a patient who developed dyspnea and chest tightness after percutaneous kyphoplasty. Echocardiography and chest computed tomography confirmed several foreign bodies in the right atrium and pulmonary arteries causing cardiac perforation and pericardial tamponade.
