Tony is right - you've parsed the sentence wrongly. Also, I think the French syntax is wrong. It appears to be two phrases, "embolie à l'air" and "pyelographie rétrograde", so "air embolism" and "retograde pyelography".

In other words, "à l'air" should come after "embolie" and not at the end of the sentence.

In fact, I think the two cases described in my reference may be those referred to in the asker's text.
