Robotic-Assisted Removal of Intracardiac Cement After Percutaneous Vertebroplasty.

Journal: The Annals of thoracic surgery

PMID: 27106432

Abstract

Percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) is an increasingly common intervention, and complications resulting from embolization are increasingly observed. We report a case of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) embolization resulting in cardiac complications in a frail patient, which was managed with endoscopic robotic-assisted removal of the embolized material.
