Description of a near-fatal cardiac embolism after percutaneous vertebroplasty	2020	3	.pdf	application/pdf	2015	140	51	Intra-cardiac cement embolism is considerably less frequent, but is a potentially fatal complica- tion, mostly managed with cardiac surgery. Pulmonary embolism may eventually develop once the cement migrates within the pulmonary artery, and can hence be considered the most frequent complication of cement extravasation (involving ~4.6% of patients), often being asymptomatic (due to the small size of the emboli), but occasionally hemodynamically compro- mising.12,13 Intra-cardiac cement embolism is considerably less fre- quent, but is a potentially fatal complication, mostly managed with cardiac surgery.14 Only rarely cardiac embolism has been success- fully managed with endovascular procedure.19 Surprisingly, late clinical manifestations of cardiac injury due to cement embolism have even been described.20	cache/ecj-8739.pdf	txt/ecj-8739.txt
