A man who had received a cement injection into damaged vertebrae in his spine almost died a week after his surgery when the cement leaked.
An analysis of the man’s chest revealed a foreign object inside of his heart, prompting emergency surgery.
Doctors found a long, slim piece of hardened concrete, roughly 4 inches long and 0.08 inches wide, piercing his right atrium and right lung.
