Core Tip Aortic injury during percutaneous vertebroplasty is an extremely rare but potentially fatal complication. We report a case of inadvertent anterior cortical breach during needle advancement, resulting in infrarenal aortic puncture, pseudoaneurysm formation, and retroperitoneal hematoma. This complication was recognized by retrograde blood flow through the needle and confirmed by computed tomography angiography. Endovascular stent-graft placement successfully achieved complete exclusion of the pseudoaneurysm, with stable findings at 6-month follow-up. This case highlights the importance of continuous fluoroscopic depth monitoring, maintaining a strict midline needle trajectory, and ensuring immediate access to vascular intervention, particularly in patients with severe osteoporosis.
