Aspiration technique for percutaneous endovascular retrieval of contraceptive device embolized to the pulmonary vasculature. Radiol Case Rep. 2020 Dec 24;16(3):571-574. doi: 10.1016/j.radcr.2020.12.049 | Journal: | Radiology case reports | Abstract: | Contraceptive implant migration into the pulmonary circulation is an uncommon, but potentially serious complication. We describe an "aspiration" technique for percutaneous retrieval of a contraceptive implant from a subsegmental pulmonary artery, using a Penumbra Neuron MAX 088 guiding catheter and a Merit Medical VacLok Vacuum Pressure Syringe, as an alternative to the previously described snare technique. Our patient had an uneventful recovery and was discharged home on the same day. | DOI: | 10.1016/j.radcr.2020.12.049 | Keywords: | Endovascular;Foreign body;Interventional Radiology | Type: | Article |
