Abstract

Vascular injury is one of the potential complications of percutaneous transpedicular screws fixation. Carefully review the vascular anatomy preoperatively is important. Once unexpected low blood pressure or anemia occurs, vascular injury should be taken into consideration.

Keywords: Minimally invasive spine surgery; Percutaneous transpedicular screw; Pseudoaneurysm; Retroperitoneal hematoma.
