Contraceptive Implant Embolism Into the Pulmonary Artery : Thoracoscopic Retrieval

Copyright © 2017 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons. Published by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved..

An 18-year old woman had migration of a subdermal contraceptive implant in a subsegmental branch of her left lower lobe pulmonary artery. She was managed successfully through a conservative surgical approach, as the implant was removed from the pulmonary artery thoracoscopically, thereby avoiding the need of thoracotomy or lung resection.
