Abstract

AbstractIntroductionA 52‐year‐old woman presented with a complex ventricular arrhythmia in an intraoperative context, during kyphoplasty for an osteoporotic fracture of a lumbar vertebra. The subject showed no indications of a previous cardiovascular condition.Methods and ResultsCauses of arrhythmias associated with the procedure were excluded. Due to her positive family history for dilated cardiomyopathy, upcoming thoughts were made for unmasking a previous asymptomatic cardiomyopathy. Nevertheless, an intracardiac cement embolism was diagnosed and, finally, the patient underwent an open‐heart surgery with successful removal of the cardiac cement. Νo new arrhythmia recorded during follow up.ConclusionTo the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of ventricular arrhythmogenic presentation of a cardiac cement embolus after a KP procedure.
