Key result
Transesophageal echocardiography during pulseless electrical activity in a patient with bone cement implantation syndrome revealed a massive embolus that rapidly disappeared after return of spontaneous circulation.
Why the study?
Bone cement implantation syndrome is a known complication of cemented orthopedic surgeries, but its etiology and pathophysiology are not fully understood.

Case Report (n=1)
Immediate transesophageal echocardiography is a useful adjunct for diagnosing and managing cardiopulmonary collapse during non-cardiac surgery, demonstrating that massive emboli in bone cement implantation syndrome can disappear rapidly.
Izumi et al. (2019) conducted a case report in Bone cement implantation syndrome (BCIS) (n=1). Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) was evaluated. Transesophageal echocardiography during pulseless electrical activity in a patient with bone cement implantation syndrome revealed a massive embolus that rapidly disappeared after return of spontaneous circulation.
