Abstract
Percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) is a common procedure for treatment of painful vertebral fractures. Although PVP is considered minimally invasive, complications may occur during the procedure. Bone cement pulmonary embolism (CPE) is a severe and potentially life-threatening complication following vertebroplasty (VP). CPE commonly occurs after performing VP, but hemodynamically it has little clinical impact. Treatment strategies of CPE is still unclear.
