    AbstractA 62-year-old woman with severe osteoporosis experienced pulmonary embolism by polymethylmethacrylate after percutaneous vertebroplasty. The patient immediately developed respiratory and cardiac distress, and a computed tomographic scan revealed the presence of cement in the pulmonary circulation. Proper techniques can minimize the risk of pulmonary embolism during percutaneous vertebroplasty: adequate preparation of cement and fluoroscopy during the procedure are recommended.
