Key result

Vertebroplasty can cause cement embolism that migrates into the right heart.

Key Points

Document the clinical presentation, imaging findings, and vascular route of a cement embolism traveling to the right heart following vertebroplasty.
Clinical evaluation and cardiac imaging of a patient experiencing cement migration after spinal vertebroplasty.
Leaked bone cement migrated through the systemic venous system to form an embolic trail into the right cardiac chambers.
Cardiovascular imaging confirmed the anatomical extent and localization of the intracardiac cement foreign body.
