Vena cava cement embolism after percutaneous kyphoplasty. Interventional radiological recovery in metastasized urothelial cancer
2014
: For patients suffering from vertebral metastases vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty offer two relatively new treatment options for the stabilization of vertebral compression fractures. This can help to reduce the fracture-associated symptoms and can improve the quality of life. Cement extravasation is a specific complication of this therapy. This article reports a case of multiple cement paravasations in the paravertebral veins, the vena cava inferior and peripheral segmental and subsegmental pumonary arteries after kyphoplasty of an extensive pathological vertebral body fracture in a 64-year-old man suffering from metastatic urothelial cancer.
