Balloon-related complications and technical failures in kyphoplasty for vertebral fractures Saliou G; Rutgers DR; Kocheida EM; Langman G; Meurin A; Deramond H; Lehmann PAJNR Am J Neuroradiol 2010[Jan]; 31 (1): 175-9BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Our aim was to describe the immediate or early complications and technical failures occurring during balloon kyphoplasty (BKP) procedures and attributable to balloon inflation. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We performed a retrospective review of all consecutive kyphoplasty procedures performed in our institution from May 2005 to October 2006. Fifty-one patients were treated by BKP at 75 spinal levels, and 137 vertebroplasties were performed as well. RESULTS: Several recurrent complications or procedural failures were observed during BKP: cortical or endplate fracture by balloon expansion (4 vertebrae), partial vertebral re-collapse after deflation (4 vertebrae), balloon rupture during inflation (5 vertebrae), and transient hyperalgia after the procedure (11 patients, 27.5%). CONCLUSIONS: Several symptomatic or asymptomatic complications and technical failures can occur during BKP. Some modifications of the usual kyphoplasty technique may decrease the frequency of these complications.|Aged[MESH]|Aged, 80 and over[MESH]|Equipment Failure[MESH]|Female[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Male[MESH]|Middle Aged[MESH]|Postoperative Complications/etiology/prevention & control[MESH]|Retrospective Studies[MESH]|Spinal Fractures/*surgery[MESH]|Vertebroplasty/*adverse effects/*instrumentation[MESH] |
