FIGURE 1
Chest radiography showed a radiopaque mass in the heart with multiple cement embolisms in the right pulmonary vessels (A). Chest computed tomography revealed cement embolisms in the right ventricle and segmental pulmonary arteries of the right lung (B). Cement emboli adhering to the anterior wall of the right ventricle and obstructing the right pulmonary artery bifurcation were noted intraoperatively (C with arrow and D).
