A rare case of right atrial perforation and pericardial tamponade following leakage of bone cement
This case highlights the rare but serious complication of right atrial perforation caused by bone cement leakage during percutaneous vertebroplasty. The report emphasizes the importance of early identification of bone cement-related complications. While conservative management may suffice for pulmonary embolism, urgent surgical treatment is required for cardiac cement embolism to prevent further complications.
