| Abstract: | Sudden-onset disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) occurred 3 h after uneventful polymethacrylate bone cement insertion for a revision left Charnley hip replacement. Profuse bleeding caused a hypovolaemic state aggravating existing myocardial ischaemia; as a result death occurred secondary to myocardial infarction 6 h after operation. |
