Abstract

The rather serious compliation of vertebroplasty is caused by bone cement leakage into adjacent structure but recent research suggests that even without cement leakage during vertebroplasty,patients could also experience with cardiovascular changes sometimes. Cytotoxicity of bone cement,nervous reflex,fat embolism and alteration of intravertebral pressure may be responsible for these changes. (J Intervent Radiol,2006,15: 377-381)
