Balloon kyphoplasty (BKP) is a minimally invasive treatment that can repair spinal fractures caused by osteoporosis (low bone density),
cancer, or non-cancerous tumors. Although the complication rate for balloon kyphoplasty is low, as with most surgical procedures, serious
adverse events, some of which can be fatal, can occur, including heart attack, cardiac arrest (heart stops beating), stroke, and embolism
(blood, fat, or cement that migrates to the lungs or heart). Other risks include infection; leakage of bone cement into the muscle and tissue
surrounding the spinal cord, and nerve injury that can, in rare instances, cause paralysis; leakage of bone cement into the blood vessels
resulting in damage to the blood vessels, lungs, and/or heart.
