A man went to the emergency room complaining about his breathing and chest pains he had been having for two days.
The 56 year old man told doctors he had a surgery called kyphoplasty performed a week prior to the chest pains.
The procedure treats injury to the spine by injecting a special type of cement into damaged vertebrae.
After several X-rays doctors were able to detect that a foreign object inside the heart was causing the chest pain.
Somehow the cement traveled to his heart and hardened causing the severe chest pains.
The man was rushed to surgery so doctors could remove the piece of cement and repair the damage to his heart.
