Abstract

The underlying case report describes the successful endovascular prevention of an aortic injury by a bone cement skid after kyphoplasty. The intervention was performed in order to prohibit fatal aortic rupture or embolisation and underlines the role of vascular surgery techniques in interdisciplinary clinical networks.

Keywords: Aortic diseases; Balloon vertebroplasty; Endovascular techniques; Grafts; Stents.
