Cement leakage into the paravertebral venous system and pulmonary cement embolism following percutaneous vertebroplasty: a case report
Cement leakage into the paravertebral venous system is associated with pulmonary cement embolism during percutaneous vertebroplasty. Continued bone cement injection after bone cement leakage into the paravertebral venous system is dangerous and, may lead to further migration and, ultimately, pulmonary cement embolism. Once bone cement leakage into the parav ertebral venous system is detected, percutaneous vertebroplasty should be terminated.
