CT features and risk factors of pulmonary cement embolism after vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty in patients with vertebral compression fracture: a retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Pulmonary cement embolism (PCE) caused by cement leakage is one of the complications of percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) or percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP). The aim of our study was to explore the imaging features on computed tomography (CT) and analyze the risk factors of PCE in patients with a vertebral compression fracture to compare the incidences of PCE caused by PVP and PKP.

Methods

In this single-center, retrospective study, 373 patients (96 males and 277 females; mean age 76.2±9.4 years) from January 2017 to December 2020 who underwent PVP or PKP for treatment of vertebral compression fracture in the China-Japan Friendship Hospital were retrospectively included. Their clinical data were recorded, and their postprocedural chest CT scans were reviewed and ev
