Cement pulmonary embolism after percutaneous vertebroplasty in a patient with cushing's syndrome: A case report

Conclusionin patients with pulmonary cement embolism, conservative treatment may be recommended rather than a surgical removal except when the obstruction is extensive enough to cause hemodynamic changes. Given that all the related studies have suggested that pulmonary thromboembolism can occur as a complication due to bone cement leakage, discovering new cement alternatives and/or injection devices, seems beneficial.
