Abstract

Right heart cement embolization is a rare but potentially life‐threatening complication of vertebroplasty surgeries. Transthoracic echocardiography is the first‐line imaging modality for detecting cement particles in cardiac chambers. Anticoagulation treatments or surgical interventions are necessary, depending on the patient's condition. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
