acute respiratory distress syndrome associated with pulmonary cement embolism following percutaneous vertebroplasty with Polymethylmethacrylate
Spine, 2004Co-Authors: Kyung Yeon Yoo, Seong W Jeong, Woong Yoon, Jongun LeeAbstract:STUDY DESIGN A case of acute respiratory distress syndrome following percutaneous vertebroplasty is described. OBJECTIVE To alert clinicians to the potential occurrence of acute respiratory distress syndrome following use of Polymethylmethacrylate bone cement. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Noncardiogenic pulmonary edema has not been reported following intravertebral injection of Polymethylmethacrylate. METHODS A 68-year-old woman underwent percutaneous vertebroplasty for a painful L5 compression fracture under local anesthesia. A contralateral transpedicular approach was made to inject Polymethylmethacrylate. RESULTS On the third postoperative day, she developed arthralgia, myalgia, fever, and frequent coughing. Chest radiography revealed bilateral, multifocal, patchy consolidations, suggestive of acute respiratory distress syndrome, and a 5-cm-long tubular radiopacity in the right pulmonary artery. She died 20 days after the vertebroplasty. CONCLUSION This case illustrates that clinicians must be aware of the potential occurrence of acute respiratory distress syndrome in patients who received percutaneous vertebroplasty.

posterior capsular opacification with hydrogel Polymethylmethacrylate and silicone intraocular lenses two year results of a randomized prospective trial
American Journal of Ophthalmology, 2002Co-Authors: Emma J Hollick, David J Spalton, Will R Meacock, Paul G Ursell, Sarah Barman, James F BoyceAbstract:Abstract PURPOSE: To compare the visual outcome, percentage of posterior capsular opacification, and laser capsulotomy rates with Polymethylmethacrylate, silicone, and hydrogel intraocular lens implants at 1 and 2 years postoperatively. METHODS: Ninety-three eyes of 93 patients were randomized to receive a Polymethylmethacrylate, silicone, or hydrogel intraocular lens implant. A standardized surgical protocol was followed by a single surgeon using phacoemulsification with capsulorhexis; any patients with surgical complications were excluded, and all patients received standardized medication and follow-up. Patients were examined at days 1 and 7, months 1, 3, and 6, and years 1 and 2 after surgery. At each assessment, best-corrected logMAR visual acuity and Pelli-Robson contrast sensitivity were measured. Posterior capsular opacification was objectively assessed by digital retroillumination imaging with the use of a dedicated software program and calculated as the percentage area of opacified capsule. Laser capsulotomy was performed if the eye had lost 2 lines of visual acuity with a clinically opaque capsule. RESULTS: At 2 years postoperatively, the mean percentage area of posterior capsular opacification for hydrogel lenses was 63%; for Polymethylmethacrylate, 46%; and for silicone, 17%. Hydrogel intraocular lenses were associated with 17% more posterior capsule opacification than were Polymethylmethacrylate lenses (95% confidence interval, 1–33; P = .037) and 45% more than were silicone lenses (95% confidence interval, 33–58; P P P = .014). Visual acuity was not significantly different among the three groups, but patients with silicone intraocular lenses had significantly better contrast sensitivity than those with hydrogel lenses ( P = .046). CONCLUSIONS: Intraocular lenses made of this specific hydrogel were associated with a significantly higher degree of posterior capsular opacification and more laser capsulotomies than Polymethylmethacrylate and silicone intraocular lenses.

Pulmonary embolism caused by Polymethylmethacrylate during percutaneous vertebroplasty in orthopaedic surgery
Acta anaesthesiologica Scandinavica, 2006Co-Authors: M. Freitag, Alexander Gottschalk, M. Schuster, W. Wenk, L. Wiesner, Thomas StandlAbstract:Vertebroplasty consists of percutaneous injection of acrylic cement -Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA)- into a partially collapsed vertebral body in order to obtain pain relief and augment mechanical stability of the vertebral body. Although vertebroplasty is an efficient treatment it is not free of complications. Our present case report describes a woman with pulmonary Polymethylmethacrylate embolism during percutaneous vertebroplasty who presented with hypotension, arrhythmia and hypocapnia.
