Jugular Vein Placement of a Small-Caliber DualLumen Catheter in Patients with Chronic Renal Insufficiency or Chronic Renal Failure

Vertebral compression fractures remain an important cause of pain and debility. Intractable pain may be approached with vertebral kyphoplasty. We herein present a case of symptomatic pulmonary cement embolism following kyphoplasty. Discovery of a paravertebral cement venogram at the time of this procedure prompted a case series review of our institutional experience with kyphoplasty. We found that cement embolization, whether symptomatic or discovered incidentally, was universally associated with a cement venogram at the site of vertebroplasty. We propose that a cement venogram be viewed as a harbinger of cement pulmonary embolism and this possibility be considered in patients with an existing intracardiac shunt or who present with new respiratory symptoms soon after kyphoplasty.
