Journal of Vascular Surgery, 10/20/09
Agko M et al. – The authors report the case of a 51–year–old woman who underwent kyphoplasty with polymethylmethacrylate for painful compression fracture of the third lumbar vertebra. Infiltration of cement into the inferior vena cava, noted intraoperatively, was confirmed with postoperative CT scan. Endovascular technique was used to retrieve it to the common femoral vein with subsequent successful removal of the crescent–like fragment with operative exploration. Patient was asymptomatic at four–week follow–up visit.
