- Overall, the percutaneous vertebroplasty has low complication rate. Nevertheless, severe complications can occur. The majority of these are related to cement leakage. The cement migration through perivertebral venous system can lead to fatal complication. We present a case of death by hemothorax due to cement leakage following percutaneous vertebroplasty with literature review.
