Endovascular retrieval of contraceptive implant embolized to pulmonary artery

Endovascular retrieval of contraceptive implant embolized to pulmonary artery

Embolization of subdermally implanted contraceptive devices is a rare but potentially serious event. Timely removal of the embolized foreign body should be considered to prevent possible hemodynamic, respiratory, or hormonal complications. We present a case of a 22-year-old woman with a contraceptiv...
