ABSTRACT

Study Design: A case report. Objectives: To report a case of simultaneous pulmonary and renal embolisms after balloon kyphoplasty and review relevant literature. Summary of Literature Review: Pulmonary or renal embolism caused by cement leakage during balloon kyphoplasty is a rare complication but can be fatal. Materials and Methods: An 84-year-old female patient was treated with balloon kyphoplasty for an osteoporotic compression fracture. Pulmonary and renal embolisms were detected after the procedure and the patient was treated conservatively. Results: After conservative treatment, embolism-related symptoms were not found during the follow-up period. Conclusions: We encountered a case of simultaneous pulmonary and renal cement embolisms which occurred during kyphoplasty. This is a very rare but potentially serious complication. However, the patient had no long-term sequelae after conservative treatment.
