Abstract
- Percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) has been known as minimally invasive procedure to treat aggressive vertebral hemangioma, painful osteolytic vertebral tumors, and osteoporotic compression fractures. Some cases were reported to be associated with infrequent but serious complications of this procedure, such as severe arterial hypotension, pulmonary embolism, cerebral embolism, paraplegia, and bronchospasm. We report a case of acute pericarditis after PVP, which was treated successfully with open heart surgery.
