| Abstract | BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: During percutaneous polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) vertebroplasty (PV), PMMA cement may migrate into the venous system and subsequently be transported to the pulmonary arteries. Frequency, outcome, and imaging findings of PMMA pulmonary embolism are poorly understood. We retrospectively assessed the frequency and outcome of PMMA embolism during PV in a large patient cohort and evaluated the relationship of the volume of injected PMMA to the occurrence of pulmonary PMMA embolism. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between 2001 and 2007, 532 osteoporotic compression fractures in 299 consecutive patients were treated with PV. PMMA embolism was defined as venous PMMA migration toward the lungs visible on biplane fluoroscopy during PV. CT was performed immediately and 1 year after PMMA migration. RESULTS: Venous PMMA migration occurred during 11 PVs in 11 patients (2.1%, 95% confidence interval, 1.1-3.7%). CT in 8 patients demonstrated small peripheral pulmonary PMMA emboli. All 11 patients remained asymptomatic during 1-year follow-up. Repeat CT scanning after 1 year in 6 patients demonstrated unchanged pulmonary PMMA deposits without late reactive changes. Mean injected cement volume in patients with and without PMMA embolism was not different (3.6 +/- 1.06 mL versus 3.3 +/- 1.16 mL, P = .43). Similar comparison for thoracic and thoracolumbar vertebrae yielded P values of .07 and .9. CONCLUSION: Pulmonary PMMA embolism during PV is an infrequent complication without permanent clinical sequelae. After 1 year, no pulmonary reaction was seen on CT. No definite relationship of PMMA emboli with injected cement volume could be established. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
