COMPLICATIONS OF THE PERCUTANEOUS VERTEBROPLASTY
Journal Title: Journal of Turkish Spinal Surgery - Year 2015, Vol 26, Issue 3
Abstract
Percutaneous vertebroplasty (PV) has long been applied in the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral fractures, malignant vertebral fractures and hemangiomas. Low complication rates, reduced length of hospitalization, favorable results, cost effectiveness and quiet easy application compared with conventional stabilization methods make PV first choice in suitable indications. Although it is a minimally invasive interventional technique, it is not free of severe complications. Like other interventional procedures, PV must be managed carefully. Here, we reviewed mild, moderate and dreaded complications of PV.
