All that clots is not blood: Bone cement implantation syndrome presenting as an intracardiac mass and pulmonary embolism
Keyword(s):
Bone cement implantation syndrome (BCIS) is a rare and potentially fatal perioperative complication of cemented orthopaedics surgery. A CT-pulmonary angiogram and echocardiogram images were acquired from an 88-year-old patient who had a perioperative collapse while undergoing a revision operation for a peri-implant fracture of the right femoral neck. Findings were suggestive of an intracardiac clot connected to a saddle pulmonary artery embolus. Patient also developed disseminated intravascular coagulation. Overall findings were suggestive of bone cement implantation syndrome.
