Right atrial and pulmonary cement embolization following vertebral laminectomy: An incidental finding.

ABSTRACT: Right heart cement embolization is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication of vertebroplasty surgeries. Transthoracic echocardiography is the first-line imaging modality for detecting cement particles in cardiac chambers. Anticoagulation treatments or surgical interventions are necessary, depending on the patient's condition.
