title: [Cardiac perforation after vertebroplasty].
abstract: For more than 20 years percutaneous vertebroplasty has been used in the minimally invasive treatment of vertebral fractures. We report on a patient with embolisation of bone cement into the pulmonary artery and the right ventricle, which was perforated. The final diagnosis was delayed due to a combination of complications, previous disorders as well as a second embolisation.
